IAG Commission 3

IAG Commission 3 refers to the third commission established by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). This commission focuses on the study and application of geodesy in understanding Earth's gravity field and its changes over time. It involves using satellite data, ground measurements, and advanced modeling techniques to improve our understanding of Earth’s shape, the distribution of mass within it, and how these factors influence areas like climate and ocean dynamics. This research is critical for addressing challenges such as sea-level rise and natural disaster management.
