1. Geodesy

   Geodesy is the science of measuring and representing in temporally varying 3D of the geometry, gravity, and spatial orientation of the Earth and other astronomical bodies, such as planets or circumplanetary systems when it is called planetary geodesy. 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. The job titles are geodesist and geodetic surveyor.

1. geodesy

   Geodesy is a scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, its gravitational field, and other geodynamic phenomena such as tides and polar motion. It involves studying the shape, size, and gravitational field of the Earth, as well as the changes of these aspects over time. This can include aspects like land surveying, satellite positioning, and global navigation systems.

1. Geodesy

   Geodesy, also named geodetics, a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study 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.
