Description

Geodetic research and infrastructure (both theoretical and practical) have contributed to ground-breaking efforts towards our understanding of the Earth and Earth systems 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 track the progress of research which demonstrates the interconnection between geodesy and the UN SDGs. All applications and topics from theory (i.e., reference frames), infrastructure (i.e., monitoring networks) and tools (i.e., satellite observations) that contribute to a sustainable future are welcome.
