United Nations

We've hit the big time now! Geodesy gets a UN resolution.

"The science that supports the precise pinpointing of people and places should be shared more widely, according to the United Nations General Assembly. The statement came as it adopted its first resolution recognising the importance of a globally coordinated approach to geodesy – the discipline focused on accurately measuring the shape, rotation and gravitational field of planet Earth."



I can see it now - using our veto against the architects and engineers.
