ical geodesy relied on classical surveying techniques like triangulation and trilateration, which provided the foundation for modern approaches. The advent of electronic distance measurement (EDM) tools, satel
easurements, and terrestrial surveying to measure and model Earth's shape and gravitational field. How does understanding Earth's geoid aid in geodesy? The geoid represents the mean sea level shape of Eart
tion to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. GPS technology is a practical application of geodesy, delivering accurate, real-time positioning data essential for navigation, surveying, and
rate satellite navigation systems, critical for transportation, agriculture, and urban planning. Moreover, the proceedings helped foster international cooperation, highlighting the importance of global data sharing and standardization to tackle planetary-scale scientific questions. Legacy
