Abstract
Today, Geodesy is the science of determining the geometry, gravity field, and rotation of the Earth and their evolution in time. Geodesy in increasingly forced not only to "measure" the geokinematics, gravity field, and rotation, but also to "model" these quantities on the basis of mass transport and dynamics. The instruments (or measurement tools) are of crucial importance in geodesy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
