Irene Fischer: Geospatial Pioneer

Dr. Irene Fischer was an Austrian born mathematician and geodesist that came to the United States in 1939. Her work with the Army Map Service led to what would later become the World Geodetic System, helping us to better map the Earth and its gravity. NGA remembers Fischer for her achievements and contributions to geospatial intelligence.
