Geodesy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Georgia Fotopoulos (Professor, Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, Queen’s University) and Calvin Klatt (Director and Chief Geodesist, Canadian Geodetic Survey, Surveyor General Branch, NRCan) are chairing a scientific session at the 2022 Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) 56^th Congress, the Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) Annual Meeting and the 78^th Eastern Snow Conference (ESC).

The theme of this joint conference is “Science Serving Society”. The session is entitled “Geodesy and the United Nations Sustainability Goals” which aims to explore the interconnected aspects of geodesy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to highlight geodetic tools and observations that help further our understanding of the Earth and the Earth System from monitoring to mitigation.
