General information about the program
Geodesy and geoinformatics are fields related to studying and mapping the Earth, focusing on determining and analyzing the shape, dimensions, and other characteristics of the Earth's surface. Let's take a closer look at each:
Geodesy is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in three-dimensional, time-varying space. The main tasks of geodesy include:
Determining the Earth's shape and size: This involves identifying the geoid shape, ellipsoid models, and the elevations of various points on the Earth's surface.
Creating and maintaining geodetic coordinate systems: These systems ensure the precise location of points on the Earth's surface.
Studying the gravitational field: Knowledge of the Earth's gravitational field helps understand its internal structure, water reservoirs, and other geophysical processes.
Measuring distances and directions: This process uses precise measuring instruments and technologies.
Geoinformatics involves the collection, storage, analysis, and visualization of geographic information using information technology.
