International Association of Geodesy

The International Association of Geodesy (IAG) is a global organization focused on advancing the science of geodesy, which involves measuring and understanding the Earth's shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field. Established in 1862, the IAG promotes research, collaboration, and the development of standards among scientists and institutions worldwide. Its work is essential for various fields, such as navigation, mapping, and studying environmental changes. By fostering international cooperation and sharing knowledge, the IAG contributes to our understanding of the Earth and helps tackle challenges related to climate change and natural resource management.
