The main areas of the Department’s scientific research are:

• geodetic support for the construction, reconstruction and operation of transport engineering structures;
• geodetic monitoring of engineering and technical objects;
• developing the use of satellite measurements to build high-precision geodetic mark out networks and solve problems;
• high-precision geodetic support of the real estate cadastre.

Geodetic support technologies and methods were employed during the construction of all cable-stayed bridges on the territory of the CIS countries (such cities as Cherepovets, Riga, Kiev, Surgut, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok), as well as large bridge crossings in Moscow, Omsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Berezniki, Kotlas, Khanty-Mansiysk, overpasses included in the ring road of St. Petersburg, and many others.

At this department students study for a Bachelor’s degree in 21.03.02 Land Management and Cadastres, specialization Real Estate Cadastre; and for a Master’s degree in 21.04.02 Land Management and Cadastres, specialization Geodetic Support of Cadastres.
