Geodesy underpins modern geospatial science and technology, enabling numerous applications ranging from Earth and space exploration, to climate change resilience, to navigation and communications, to global security. Geodesy can be leveraged for near-future applications involving autonomous vehicles, digital twins, and other technologies that super-charge the economy and better ensure safety of life and property. However, attracting and training a robust and skilled workforce in this field presents ongoing challenges. This session seeks abstracts that demonstrate the role that geodesy plays within current and future commercial, academic, non-profit, and government applications that drive economic vitality, safety, and other societal benefits. We also seek creative ideas on rebranding geodesy around these contributions and career paths to enhance the perception of the field by students and those in positions to effect policy and funding decisions. Submissions exploring geodesy skills required by various sectors and how academic institutions can address these are also encouraged.
