A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Summary This discussion only scratches the surface of the subject of marine geodesy. Its sole purpose is to bring into focus some of the problems and the requirements which will arise as a result of the exploration of the sea. It seems clear at least at this time that the geodetic accuracies obtainable over the ocean areas in general will be at least one or two orders of magnitude less than those obtainable on land. But modern science which has produced the atom bomb, artificial satellites, soft landings on the moon, and other highly sophisticated accomplishments, might be expected in the future to provide some means of obtaining much higher geodetic accuracies at sea than can now be foreseen.
