Geodesist’s Handbook
The Geodesist’s Handbook is published by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) periodically after each IUGG/IAG General Assembly.
It includes administrative matters of the IAG (Statutes & Bylaws, Rules, etc.), a compendium of the recent IUGG/IAG General Assembly, and general information (publications, delegates, etc.). It presents the current IAG structure, and introduces the terms of reference and the officers of the Association’s components for the upcoming legislative period to the broad geodetic community. The scientific program and planned activities are described in detail.
