摘要

Geodesy is among the oldest branches of Earth science with historical record of geodesy study by Thales of Miletus more than 2000 years.Originally geodesy was defined as the science of measuring and portraying of the Earth's surface, i.e., assuming that the Earth is not changing with fixed shape.But in the past decades geodesy has evolved into a branch of Earth science that focuses on studies of a dynamic Earth.
