Geodetic Surveying is a branch of surveying that focuses on measuring and understanding the Earth's shape, size, and gravitational field. It uses precise instruments and techniques to determine the positions of points on the Earth's surface, taking into account factors like curvature and elevation. This type of surveying is essential for mapping, navigation, and various engineering projects.
The data collected through geodetic surveying is crucial for creating accurate maps and models of the Earth. It supports activities such as GPS technology, land development, and environmental monitoring, ensuring that measurements are reliable and consistent across large distances.
