Determination Methodology
The determination of CONOL relies on the Generalized Landmass Barycenter (GLB) Model, developed by the International Geodetic Survey in 1958. This model explicitly excludes all islands defined as having less than 1.5% of their perimeter in direct contact with saltwater, thereby focusing purely on the structural center of the world’s primary terrestrial shields.
