Isostasy (Greek isos “equal,” stasis “stand still”) is a term in geology, geophysics, and geodesy to describe the state of mass balance (equilibrium) between the Earth’s crust and upper mantle.

On a relativistic geodesy [PDF]
Bulletin Géodésique, 1985 Theoretical formulas for relativistic estimation of geopotential differences are given. The relativistic geoid is defined. A technique for measuring potential differences with high precision clocks (masers or equivalent) is described. The method can operate over arbitrary terrestrial distances. Two clocks are used.

From Classical Geodesy to Geodesy in Three Dimensions [PDF]
, 1985 There is no doubt that modern Geodesy, to be understood as the discipline that studies the earth from a geometric point of view, is the offspring of the experimental method. This it shares with many other disciplines, which, like ours, have their origin in the 17th century, and are nourished equally by experimental investigation and by mathematical ...

Journal of Geodesy, 1981
The first land surveyors were rope stretchers and rope knotters, remembered in ancient documents and tomb paintings and also in some terminology. The L-shaped carpenter’s square, one of the earliest and most versatile basic tools, represents the observed direction of the plumb line versus the water level and appears as the shadow-casting gnomon and ...

Cartography, 1964
An outline* of existing geodetic methods and modem satellite methods for the determination of the earth's gravitational field and a uniform world geodetic system. The article was written in December 1964 when the author was studying at the Geodetic Institute of the Technical University of Delft, Holland.

THE APPLICATION OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO SATELLITE GEODESY
Survey Review, 1968AbstractIn order to obtain the individual directions of the paths to the satellite, the ray bundle defined by the corrected photo co-ordinates and the focal length of the camera must be converted by a space transform into the “passpoint” system of the fixed stars given by the right ascension/declination system. This problem of the spatial rotation of a

Tectonophysics, 1986
Abstract Man's interest in the dynamics of the earth's crust goes back several centuries. Ekman recently pointed out the theory of post-glacial uplift in Fennoscandia. In the 15th century, towns along the Baltic-Sea experienced receding of the sea.

T. Inoh was the first who completed a nation-wide map of Japan, in the beginning of the 19th century. He determined geodetic positions by distance and angle measurements and by astronomical observations.
