  1. Geodesy

    Geodesy or geodetics is the science of measuring and representing the geometry, gravity, and spatial orientation of the Earth in temporally varying 3D. It is called planetary geodesy when studying other astronomical bodies, such as planets or circumplanetary systems. Geodesy is an earth science and many consider the study of Earth's shape and gravity to be central to that science. It is also a discipline of applied mathematics. Geodynamical phenomena, including crustal motion, tides, and polar motion, can be studied by designing global and national control networks, applying space geodesy and terrestrial geodetic techniques, and relying on datums and coordinate systems. Geodetic job titles include geodesist and geodetic surveyor. Wikipedia

    Earth Science: NavigationIntroductionMaritime navigation began when vessels from ancient Greece, China, and Phoenicia first ventured along the coastline, lining up landmarks (such as a near outcrop of rock against a distant point on land) to plot a course. Heeding the flight paths of birds, wind direction, Pole Star, and the path of the sun allowed sailors to make ever more ambitious voyages ...

    Geodesy, scientific discipline concerned with the precise figure of the Earth and its determination and significance. Until the advent of satellites, all geodesic work was based on land surveys made by triangulation methods employing a geodesic coordinate system (one used to study the geometry of

    Earth science or geoscience includes all fields of natural science related to the planet Earth. [1] This is a branch of science dealing with the physical, chemical, and biological complex constitutions and synergistic linkages of Earth's four spheres: the biosphere, hydrosphere / cryosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere (or lithosphere).

    The past few decades have witnessed the explosive growth of Earth Sciences in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding the planet Earth. Such a development addresses the challenging endeavour to enrich human lives with bounding Nature as well as to preserve the Planet Earth, the Moon, the other planets, in total the Cosmos, for generations to come. Geodetic Sciences aspires to define and ...

    This paper summarizes the histoiy of the term "geomatics", from its beginnings to its present adoption at the international level. The paper stresses the importance of the vision carried by this new concept to stimulate such an adoption, that is to better convey the potential of the digital era to build new, more efficient geospatial data workflows. This paper also recognizes the roles ...

    This series of reference books describes sciences of different elds in and around geodesy with independent chapters. Each chapter covers an individual eld and describes the history, theory, objective, technology, development, highlights of research and applications. In addition, problems as well as future directions are discussed.

    Other important topics in the history of geomathematics are the struggles for an understanding of the true shape of the Earth which led to the development of potential theory and much of multidimensional calculus, see Greenberg (1995), the mathematical developments around the research of the Earth's magnetic field, and the history of navigation.
