Snapshot GNSS for wildlife tracking

Thesis

Location data is valuable for the study of wild animals. It is often collected using animal-borne tags that utilise global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). Snapshot GNSS is a particular approach to positioning with GNSS that requires only a few milliseconds of the satellite signal for every location fix. The processing of these snapshot recordings can then be delayed, often until after the deployment, when the necessary satellite data is availa...
