International geodesy organizations

International geodesy organizations are groups that coordinate global efforts to measure and understand Earth's shape, size, and movements. They establish standards and share data related to Earth's geometry, gravity, and tectonic activities, enabling accurate mapping, navigation, and Earth science research worldwide. Examples include the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) and the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). These organizations facilitate collaboration among scientists and institutions to ensure consistency and precision in geospatial information critical for science, technology, and environmental monitoring.
