Nguzo ya kituo cha jiodesia (1855 ) huko Ostend, Ubelgiji .Upimaji dunia au Jiodesia (kutoka Kigiriki : γεωδαισία, geodaisia, yaani mgawanyo wa dunia ; pia: Jiodisi kupitia Kiingereza "Geodesy") ni sayansi ya dunia inayohusika na upimaji na uelewaji wa umbo lake, mwelekeo wake angani , na uvutano wake.
Utafiti wake unaenea katika mabadiliko ya tabia hizo za dunia na katika zile za sayari nyingine.
