Geodesy and Geophysics

Geodesy is the science of measuring and understanding Earth's shape, size, and gravitational field, helping us map its surface accurately. It involves techniques like satellite positioning and surveying to study how Earth shifts over time. Geophysics explores Earth's internal structure and processes, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and magnetic fields, by analyzing physical properties like seismic waves and gravity. Together, these fields improve our knowledge of Earth's dynamics, support navigation, construction, and natural hazard assessment, and help us understand the planet's ongoing changes.
