geodezice
Geodezice, or geodesy in English, is the science of measuring and representing the Earth. It encompasses determining the size and shape of the planet, its orientation in space, and its gravity field, with the goal of establishing precise geographic coordinates and stable reference systems. The discipline underpins accurate mapping, navigation, construction, and many geoscience applications.
Historically, geodetic work began with basic surveying and cartography in ancient and medieval times. The development
Key concepts in geodesy include the ellipsoid, which approximates the Earth's shape; the geoid, an irregular
Geodetic techniques span terrestrial surveying, photogrammetry, and remote sensing, as well as space geodesy. Space-based methods
Applications of geodezice are broad, covering land administration, infrastructure design and maintenance, disaster risk assessment, navigation,
