Geodetic techniques are crucial in the assessment of geohazards and anthropogenic hazards, and they will play a pivotal role in early warning systems of such hazards and disasters. The prospect of these changes is increased security, a better use of resources, and progress towards sustainable development.

Geodetic techniques are capable of observing surface displacements on local to global scales at the highest possible accuracy. The gravitational effect of such changes may also be observed. . |
