A geodetic reference frame provides the foundation for determining positions on Earth and in space, as well as for reliably quantifying our planet’s changes due to geodynamic processes and ongoing climate change. The ITRF ensures a uniform basis to tackle current and future challenges, including a wide range of location-based applications (navigation, traffic and fleet management, transport ...[Read More]
