Geodesy. Volume-3

Аннотация

Modern geodesy as discussed in this volume started with the development of distance measurement using propagating electromagnetic signals and the launch of Earth-orbiting satellites. With these developments, space-based geodesy allowed global measurements of positions, changes in the rotation of the Earth, and the Earth’s gravity field. Th ese three areas (position­ing, Earth rotation, and gravity field) are considered the three pillars of geodesy.
