GeodesyGeodesy● Study of:
– geometrical, structural and gravitational properties of the earth,
– their evolution with time, – interactions of solid earth with other
components of the earth system● First geodetic problem
– Given a point (known coordinates), the azimuth and the distance, find the coordinates of the second point
● Second or inverse geodetic problem– Given two points with coordinates find
the length of the line between themhttp://www.agu.org

Global positioning systemsGlobal positioning systems● Initially developed by US DoD
for military purposes ● GPS opened to public by
Ronald Reagan ● A network of 24 different
satellite on 6 orbital planes ● Bill Clinton announces

Geographic Information SystemsGeographic Information Systems● System – a group of hardware,
software, data, people and methods● Multiple layers help make multi-
criteria decisions● “Find me an east-facing house, within
200 meters of the main road, with malls, cinema halls and post-office nearby close to Noida-Delhi border”
● “Find me the shortest path for going to the Railway Station from IIT Kanpur”
● Find me the best place for dumping waste in a moderately hilly terrain
