Geodesy, which is the science of measuring the size and shape of
the Earth, explores the theory, instrumentation and results from
modern geodetic systems. The beginning sections of the volume cover
the theory of the Earth's gravity field, the instrumentation for
measuring the field, and its temporal variations. The measurements
and results obtained from variations in the rotation of the Earth
are covered in the sections on short and long period rotation
hanges. Space based geodetic methods, including the global
positioning system (GPS) and Interferometric synthetic aperture
radar (SAR), are also examined in detail.
Self-contained volume starts with an overview of the subject
