Committee on Geodesy - National Research Council
Abstract
The focus was on the applications of geodesy to oceanography, geophysics, space science, surveying, mapping and instrumentation. A report Geodesy in the Year 2000 is under review and will be published during the winter 1989-90. The Committee plans to continue to review the activities and research in geodesy; identify basic research opportunities and applied research needs; and recommend actions to meet future national, societal,scientific and technological demands on geodetic science, including surveying, mapping, and photogrammetry. A panel set up to 1. evaluate the scientific impact of a global network of fiducial sites; 2. examine strategies for implementing and operating such a network in the light of anticipated scientific return using existing capabilities where possible; and 3. assess whether such a network would provide a suitable global infrastructure for geodetic and other geophysical system of the next century.
