RESEARCH TOPICS ADDRESSED:
- Rheology of the Earth mantle;
- Geophysical phenomena and geodetic observations related to
global geodetic reference frames;
- Monitoring, analyzing variations, and modeling physical
parameters of the Earth system from global to local
spatial scales and temporal scales from minutes to millenia,
including, but not limited to Earth rotation, displacements of
the Earth surface, fluxes in the global water cycle, sea level,
atmospheric water content, air pressure, temperature, wind, etc.;
- Sea level fluctuations and global climate change;
- Earth rotation studies and integration of the solid Earth into
Earth system models;
- Deformations of the Earth due to exogenic forcing, particularly
postglacial rebound and atmospheric, oceanic, hydrological and cryospheric loading;
- General approach to studies of the Earth system;
- Inproving the global geodetic reference frame as a major
utility for all Earth observation;
- Application of geodetic techniques to geohazards and early warning.
