OBJECTIVES
Microgeodesy is geodesy ‘under the microscope’: it is used to monitor and measure the minute movements of a structure with great precision, in order to assess its safety and stability.
DETAILED EXPLANATIONS
Precision microgeodesy involves the detailed study of deformations and movements of the Earth’s surface over short distances, often on structures such as dams or buildings, using high-resolution measuring instruments for applications such as infrastructure monitoring, civil engineering site setting-out, or environmental monitoring. It is a branch of geodesy and surveying that focuses on highly precise metric details.
