## Summary

Geodesy is an academic discipline [1]. It is classified as an intangible entity. The field focuses on the measurement and representation of the Earth. As a branch of science, it deals with the study of the planet's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field. These measurements are essential for understanding the Earth's dynamic processes. The discipline provides the foundation for mapping and navigation systems used globally. Through precise observations, geodesy supports various applications in engineering and environmental monitoring. Its principles are applied to monitor changes in sea level and crustal movements. This ensures accurate spatial data for both scientific research and practical use.
