2. GeodesyGeodesy, also named geodetics, a branch of earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space.

For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
