At the Institute of Geodesy, we are dedicated to research and education in precise GNSS-based positioning and navigation, terrestrial gravimetry, and geoid determination. We also focus on modeling mass variations within the Earth system. We take great pride in our analysis of lunar laser measurements. Currently, we are placing increased emphasis on developing innovative measurement concepts for gravity field determination, in close collaboration with experts in physics.
