Future of geodesy

The changes that have taken place in geodesy in the last forty years, and especially in the last decade, can without exaggeration be called revolutionary. They are related to the development of satellite and computer technology. The changes are so important and large that they cause a change in the names of geodetic associations, journals, as well as geodetic colleges and even the entire profession. Instead of geodesy, the name geomatics is sometimes introduced. The changes that took place in geodesy equally affected all the main branches of geodesy: mathematical-physical, practical and engineering geodesy, photogrammetry and cartography. Some new tasks that surveyors deal with today, made possible by new satellite and computer technology, are described. Guidelines for the education of surveyors are given.
