Tropospheric effects on GNSS positioning for airborne applications

In this research project, by collecting data from a GPS receiver mounted on the Snowdon Mountain Railway train, different GPS tropospheric mitigation approaches were evaluated in order to improve airborne kinematic GPS positioning...

Improving the accuracy of ASTER elevation data for glacial change assessment in Antarctica

This research investigates an automated mathematical approach known as ‘surface matching’, which offers significant potential for improving the accuracy of ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection radiometer) dat...

Big data: A new revolution in the UK FM sector

This report examines the drivers, challenges, opportunities and benefits of using big data analytics (BDA) for FM and how to develop a methodological framework to implement BDA into FM organisations.

Unleashing Sub-Saharan Africa Property Markets

This research was commissioned to help understand the potential role RICS could play in Sub-Saharan Africa and in the land and resources sector by assessing the potential future demand for services of the built environment profess...

Cost of Prefabricated Building Integrated Photovoltaics

This research evaluates the mechanisms driving the cost reductions and deployment of prefabricated Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and explores the benefits, including aesthetics, of integrating photovoltaics within build...

Mitigation of GNSS multipath by the use of dual-polarisation observations.pdf

This report examines the effect of multipath on GNSS signal distortion, and proposes a strategy of multipath mitigation.
