Gravity
The research group maps the gravity field of the Earth both in Finland and globally, and studies its variation in time due to geophysical phenomena.
Large part of the information from local environment to distant planets is received by measuring and analyzing the scattered light, i.e. by remote sensing.
In this research group, we study various space geodetic and astronomical observing techniques covering different wavelengths.
FGI subproject establish a link between the Finnish national time UTC-MIKE and Metsähovi Geodetic Research Station.
A new SLR system (telescope, laser unit, auxiliary equipments) will be purchased and an operational work will be started.
We estimate the Earth spherical albedo together with the total flux of emerging Earth radiation from satellite dynamics using precise space-geodetic measurements.
