Geodesy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023756501)

This historic publication, "Geodesy: The Effect of Topography and Isostatic Compensation Upon the Intensity of Gravity," presents a detailed study conducted by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Published in 1912, the book delves into the intricate relationship between the Earth's topography, isostatic compensation, and their effects on gravitational intensity.

The work provides valuable insights into the methodologies and findings of early 20th-century geodetic research, offering a foundational understanding of geophysical principles. It remains relevant for researchers, historians of science, and anyone interested in the evolution of geodetic science and the study of Earth's physical properties.
