The paper gives an overview of the directions and results of research carried out in geodesy and land management at the Latvia University of Agriculture from the year 1939, when the Surveying Department (later the Department of Geodesy) was established, up to the present day. Since the beginnings of the Department, researches in geodesy have been associated with problems of precise levelling: vertical movements of the earth crust, deformation of buildings and structures, as well as accuracy evaluation of geodetic instruments. Researches in land management started with the establishment of the Department of Land Management in 1951, and traditionally they are associated with rational land use issues. After the merger of both the Departments in 2001 and Latvia’s integration into the European Union, the research topics have expanded: Now they include assessment of the accuracy of the levelling core network and the measurements associated with it, as well as evaluation of the aspects of land property formation and improvement.
