See also the main article on history of geodesy.

Geodesy (IPA ), also called geodetics, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the earth, its gravitational field and geodynamic phenomena (polar motion, earth tides, and crustal motion) in three-dimensional, time-varying space.

@davegrapes strangely, Geodesy was my worst mark by a long shot. No where near a fail though

It is all going down at 4 pm in 3022 Moscone West. Geodesy of strike-slip systems. The meeting so far has been a prelude to this! #agu09
