How does your cell phone know where you are right now? How is our planet changing due to geodynamic processes and ongoing climate change? How can these changes be precisely measured from space in order to obtain reliable information about the melting of ice sheets or the threat to coastal regions from rising sea levels? This popular science book provides answers to these and many other socially relevant questions. It is aimed at interested nonprofessionals who want to learn more about our fascinating planet, but also at experts in natural sciences. You are taken on an exciting journey through time from the first surveys in ancient times to the satellite era, which is providing us with a global view of our home planet. Illustrative examples demonstrate how deeply global positioning and navigation with satellites pervade our daily life, and what fundamental contributions geodesy makes to understanding the Earth system and determining the effects of climate change. With interview contributions by Gunter Hein, Harald Lesch and Stefan Rahmstorf. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Mission Erde by Detlef Angermann et al., published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). Content and language were subsequently revised by the authors. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Woher weiß Ihr Handy, wo Sie gerade unterwegs sind? Wie verändert sich unser Planet aufgrund von geodynamischen Prozessen und dem fortschreitenden Klimawandel? Wie können diese Veränderungen präzise aus dem Weltraum vermessen werden, um verlässliche Aussagen etwa über das Abschmelzen der Eisschilde oder die Bedrohung von Küstenregionen durch den steigenden Meeresspiegel zu erhalten? Das vorliegende Sachbuch gibt Antworten auf diese gesellschaftlich relevanten Fragen. Es richtet sich an interessierte Laien, die mehr über unseren faszinierenden Planeten erfahren wollen, aber auch an Fachexperten naturwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Sie werden mitgenommen auf eine spannende Zeitreise von den ersten Vermessungen in der Antike bis in das Zeitalter der Satelliten, die uns die weltweite Bestimmung von extrem genauen Positionen und eine globale Sicht auf unseren Heimatplaneten ermöglichen. Anhand anschaulicher Beispiele wird vermittelt, wie tief die globale Positionierung und Navigation mit Satelliten unseren Alltag durchdrungen haben, und welche fundamentalen Beiträge die Geodäsie als die Wissenschaft von der Vermessung der Erde zum Verständnis des Erdsystems und zur Bestimmung der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels liefert. Mit Interviewbeiträgen von Günter Hein, Harald Lesch und Stefan Rahmstorf

These proceedings contain 25 papers, which are the peer-reviewed versions of presentations made at the 1st International Workshop on the Quality of Geodetic Observation and Monitoring (QuGOMS'11), held 13 April to 15 April 2011 in Garching, Germany. The papers were drawn from five sessions which reflected the following topic areas: (1) Uncertainty Modeling of Geodetic Data, (2) Theoretical Studies on Combination Strategies and Parameter Estimation, (3) Recursive State-Space Filtering, (4) Sensor Networks and Multi Sensor Systems in Engineering Geodesy, (5) Multi-Mission Approaches With View to Physical Processes in the Earth System.
