Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography - general characteristics
Historical note
The Faculty of Land Surveying (first name), Poland's oldest scientific research and teaching institution concerned with geodesy, began independent activity at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) on September 1st, 1921,
In 1925 the Faculty became The Faculty of Geodesy.
...
Presently, the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography is the only faculty in Poland covering all problems related to this branch of science.
Its equipment and teaching content are comparable to those offered by the best geodetic faculties in Europe.

Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography - general characteristics
Studies
Faculty teaching and research staff: 115 persons, students: 1200
The Faculty offers two forms of education :
- full-time courses (leading to BSc or MSc degrees and postgraduate PhD),
- extra-mural courses (lead ing to BSc, MSc, PhD)
- other complementary and postgraduate courses.
Studies leading to an MSc degree give opportunities to specialise in the following areas:- Geodesy and Satellite Navigation,- Engineering Surveying,- Cadastre and Land Management,- Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing,- Cartography and Geographic Information Systems,- Spatial Information Systems.

Preferred areas of research activities in COPAL Project:
Photogrammetry• georeferencing of image data•Creation of: DEM, DTM, 3D city model •Image processing to create digital ortho and true-ortho•Data acquisition for topographic databases building

Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography
Preferred areas of research activities in COPAL Project:
Remote Sensing• monitoring of inland water quality using hyperspectral images•study of lakes eutrophication processes•study of urban climate using thermal images•Study of vegetation (spectral characteristics, land cover, agricultural crops, good agricultural practices, etc)
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography
Presently used digital image data in research and didactic activity:
• aerial analogue photographs,
• digital aerial photography,
• laser scanning,
• radar images (aerial and satellite),
• satellite images (with different spatial and spectral resolutions),
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography
Expectations from participation in COPAL Project
easier access to diverse types of digital imaging data – what allows to extent and improve research activity
Presently we are acquiring digital image data (aerial and satellite images) from commercial distributors.
The purchase costs are in many cases kind of barrier for conducting the researches in wider aspects
