Geodetic research and infrastructure (both theoretical and practical) have contributed to ground-breaking efforts towards our understanding of the Earth and Earth system through observations, monitoring, and the development of mitigation strategies towards achieving a sustainable future on various spatial scales (from local – regional – to global). This session invites submissions that tracks the progress of research which demonstrates the interconnection between geodesy and the UN SDGs. All applications and topics where geodetic infrastructure from theory (i.e., reference frames), infrastructure (i.e., monitoring networks) and tools (i.e., satellite observations) that directly and indirectly contribute to a sustainable future are welcome.
Conveners: Georgia Fotopoulos, Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, Queen’s University; Calvin Klatt, Canadian Geodetic Survey, Surveyor General Branch, Natural Resources Canada
