Discover GGOS

News - 22 February 2012 - Secretariat

GGOS released an 8 minute film "Discover GGOS" to promote the Global Geodetic Observation System (GGOS). The aim of this film is to explain and outline the benefits of geodesy in a simple way to students, non-geodesists but also to the whole society.

GGOS, the Global Geodetic Observing System, is a collaborative contribution of the global geodesy community to the observation and monitoring of the Earth System. Geodesy is the science of determining the shape of the Earth, its gravity field, and its rotation as well as their variations. 
Watch this film and visit the GGOS website (https://ggos.org) to learn more about the broad variety of geodetic observations, products and services as well as the multifaceted world of geodesy and its ever-increasing benefits to science and society.

The Delft University of Technology is a strong supporter of the GGOS and contributes through observations, research and education.
