The three Swedish kings of geodesy – Speech at the NKG General Assembly dinner in 2022

Abstract

During the 1950s–1970s, there were three geodesy professors in Sweden. Before and after that period the only such position was at KTH in Stockholm. One in the triple proposed the creation of the Nordic Geodetic Commission, which was realized in 1953 and still exists in much the same form as originally proposed.
