Located in two beautiful cities of Aalborg and Copenhagen in Denmark, the Group of Geodesy provides unique scientific research related to theoretical and applied geodesy.

 Taught lectures cover various up-to-date topics related to the theory and practice of land surveying, satellite geodesy, advanced computations, and mapping. 

The taught programs are innovative and interdisciplinary, and full of field works involving surveying sensors, e.g., GNSS, total station, laser scanner, leveling, inertial, and echo-sounder instruments. 

The group's research-based learning follows the AAU's unique problem-based supporting our students maximizing their potential.

Research areas 

Our researchers address many urgent concerns facing the world today including the climate change, and address the demands to improve the efficiency of Earth System , Atmosphere, and Geophysical models for real-world applications. Our research covers the both aspects of fundamental theoretical and practical geodesy.
