- (geodetic) of or relating to or determined by geodesy
- Geodesy , 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. ...
- (GEODETIC) With respect to the point created by the intersection of the Nadir (anti-zenith) line and the Earth's equatorial plane. This is mainly used to correct for the spheroid (non-spherical) Earth.
- Science or art of measuring the shape and size of the earth's surface, or large parts of it, as distinguished from surveying which deals only with limited tracts of the earth.
- The science of dealing with the investigation of scientific questions connected with the shape and dimensions of the Earth.
- Is primarily concerned with positioning and the gravity field and geometrical aspects of their temporal variations.
