SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE THAT DEALS WITH THE MEASUREMENT AND REPRESENTATION OF THE EARTH
History of Geodesy
The history of geodesy deals with the historical development of measurements and representations of the Earth. The corresponding scientific discipline, geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɪsi/), began in pre-scientific antiquity and blossomed during the Age of Enlightenment.
