👉 Geodesists are individuals who study and analyze the Earth's shape, especially its tectonic plates. They use a combination of mathematical models and field observations to understand how these plates move and interact with each other, and they believe that this understanding is crucial for predicting future tectonic events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Geodesists also often work on developing new technologies based on their research, such as geoscientific instruments and satellite mapping systems.
