Geodetic Observatories

Geodetic observatories are specialized facilities that monitor Earth's shape, gravity, and position with high precision. They use advanced instruments and measurements to track changes in Earth's surface and gravity over time, which is essential for understanding tectonic movements, sea level rise, and climate change. By providing accurate data, these observatories support navigation, mapping, and scientific research related to Earth's dynamics. Essentially, they serve as Earth's "observation stations," helping scientists keep track of the planet's physical changes with great accuracy and detail.
