Gravity and Geodesy in recent and not so recent EOS articlesDid the 26 December 2004 Sumatra, Indonesia, Earthquake Disrupt the Earth's Rotation as the Mass Media Have Said?[PDF] by B. F. Chao and R. S. GrossGeodesy Is Not Just for Static Measurements Any More[PDF] A variety of space-based geodetic techniques provide a new tool to advance geophysical understanding of the integrated mass transports in the Earth's system, such as ocean circulation.
