Research and studies at the Institute of Geodesy focus on GNSS-based positioning and navigation, terrestrial gravimetry, geoid determination and the modelling of mass variations of the system Earth. Another main topic is the analysis of lunar laser ranging. Presently the development of new measurement concepts for the determination of the gravity field, in collaboration with physics, is becoming increasingly important.
