The last few decades have witnessed a renewed interest in and a profound revision of both the theoretical principles and operational procedures of geodesy. This has been the result of the advent of artificial satellites, advances in electronics and space technology, the possibilities offered by modern computers in the field of numerical and algebraic calculation, and the development of inertial and space navigation, together with the increase in knowledge about the structure, dynamics, and origin of the Earth. The school’s aim is to present, in a series of advanced lectures, the frontier aspects of space-time geodesy and to offer graduate students a forum for exchanging ideas and discussing questions or problems with highly qualified geodesists.
