Abstract
Although the environment has remained at the forefront of scientific interest for well over four decades (e.g., [1]), it is not until this decade that remote sensing of the environment using geodetic methods started gaining momentum.
We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.
— Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855)
