From page 2...
... to review the state of scientific and technological advances in modern geodesy and related fields and to determine when technique and methodology transfer is practicable; (2) to review the planning for space-borne instrumentation pertinent to geodesy during the 1980s and to make appropriate recommendations; (3)

From page 3...
... In regions of seismic activity, the rate of crustal deformation is sufficient to justify a program of periodic resurveys. The differential motions detected by these surveys may provide essential information for determining stress patterns and rates of strain accumulation.
