Burkhard Schaffrin works in mathematical geodesy, developing statistical estimation methods for handling measurement errors and uncertainty in geodetic and surveying data. His work focuses on techniques like total least-squares and Kriging (a spatial prediction method) to improve the accuracy of models used in mapping, positioning, and geophysical measurements. This research is primarily theoretical and methodological, aimed at improving the mathematical tools used by geodesists and surveyors.
