Navigating the Geodetic Landscape: A Tribute to 45 Years of Excellence

Reflecting the broad spectrum of Professor Teunissen's research, this Anniversary Volume presents insights into geodetic science, including estimation theory, GNSS observation modelling, Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites, and InSAR deformation analysis. The book's chapters serve as informative resources for scientists, engineers, and students in navigation, geodesy, and geospatial engineering. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing standalone reading. Chapter 1 overviews Teunissen's work in mathematical geodesy, while Chapter 2 covers subsidence monitoring in the Netherlands since the 1960s. Chapter 3 is devoted to the new terrestrial positioning system of SuperGPS, while Chapters 4-8 discuss advancements in navigation satellite systems. Chapters 9-10 explores the role of emerging LEO satellites in positioning. Inspired by Teunissen's contributions to parameter estimation and testing theory, Chapters 11-16 discuss various estimation methods for models with integer and real unknowns. The book concludes with Chapter 17, concerning the important topic of physical geodesy.
