Besides the Earth's gravity field, geodesists study also geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides , and polar motion . For this they design global and national Control networks , using Space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems Geodesy (from Greek lit. division of the Earth) is primarily concerned with positioning within the temporally varying gravity field. Somewhat obsolete nowadays, geodesy in the German speaking world is divided into "Higher Geodesy" ("Erdmessung" or "h¶here Geod¤sie"), which is concerned with measuring the Earth on the global scale, and "Practical Geodesy" or "Engineering Geodesy" ("Ingenieurgeod¤sie"), which is concerned with measuring specific parts or regions of the Earth, and which includes surveying The shape of the Earth is to a large extent the result of its rotation, which causes its equatorial bulge, and the competition of geological processes such as the collision of plates and of

   Extractions: Mounds, Pyramids, Stone Circles, more. Moundbuilders Photo Gallery DEFINITIONS: Geodesy is the discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the earth, its gravity field and geodynamic phenomena (polar motion, earth tides, and crustal motion) in three-dimensional time varying space. Geodesy is primarily concerned with positioning and the gravity field and geometrical aspects of their temporal variations. Geoid is essentially the real shape of the earth, without accounting for the topographic features. It is an idealized equilibrium surface. The geoid, unlike the ellipsoid, is too complicated to serve as the computational surface on which to solve geometrical problems like point position. Coordinate System. A reference system for defining points in space or on planes and surfaces with relation to designated axis, planes or surfaces. In surveying and mapping three general types are used: (1.) Plano-polar, in which points in a plane are defined by distance from a specified point along a ray having a specified direction with respect to a base line;

    Extractions: The Space Geodesy Group within the Planetary Geodynamics Laboratory , located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) , conducts broad scientific research in global solid Earth dynamics, in fields that are related to space geodesy or rely on space geodesy for source observations. The group carries a time-honored heritage in generating the state-of-the-art gravity fields for the Earth, which is continuing into the new era of the International Decade of Geopotential Research. The same is true with respect to gravity fields of terrestrial planets and satellites in our Solar System. These efforts are based on the ever-improving precision in tracking of satellites and spacecraft, and in the capability of modeling and computation for precise orbit determination (POD) using the workhorse software GEODYN. The latter effort is also an integral part of current and future space missions that rely on POD, including ocean radar altimetry, land/ice laser altimetry and lidars, and new time-variable gravity measurement missions. New research in time-variable gravity and geocenter motion, joining the continuing studies of Earth rotation and crustal loading and deformation, constitute the "global geophysical fluids" research efforts whose main goal is to understand the Earth's atmosphere-hydrosphere-solid Earth-core system, and the dynamic interactions thereof. These efforts are based on space geodetic observations, a major component of which is

    Extractions: What is geodesy ? Webster defines geodesy as "that branch of applied mathematics which determines by observation and measurement the exact positions of points and the figures and areas of large portions of the earth's surface, the shape and size of the earth, and the variations of terrestrial gravity." It is a specialized application of several familiar facets of basic mathematical and physical concepts. In practice, geodesy uses the principles of mathematics astronomy and physics , and applies them within the capabilities of modern engineering and technology. In the past, military geodesy was largely involved with the practical aspect of the determination of exact positions of points on the earth's surface for mapping or artillery control purposes. The determination of the precise size and shape of the earth had a purely scientific role. Modern requirements are for answers to problems in satellite tracking , global navigation and defensive missile operations.
