About Us


In general point of view, the studies of the group encompass the following research areas:


  • The determination and validation of the Earth gravity field models and Geoid at global and regional scales
  • Current and up-coming Earth gravity field satellite missions and improvements
  • Methodologic research on regional geoid modeling techniques with heterogeneous data, validation approaches (using GPS/leveling data, astrogeodetic deflections of vertical, tide-gauge observations etc.)
  • Vertical datum definition and height system unification with GPS/leveling, tide-gauge, altimetry and Earth geopotential models
  • Investigating sea-level variations using tide-gauge, satellite gravimetry, satellite altimetry and oceanographic data and it’s environmental effects
  • Determination of mean sea level, sea surface topography models and marine geoid
  • Evaluation of digital terrain model data in geoid modeling
  • Investigating and determining temporal gravity field on land and at sea
  • Hydrogeodesy: land hydrology studies using miscellaneous satellite data and land surface models
  • Monitoring and analyzing the crustal deformations with satellite observations and terrestrial data
  • Data fusion in space and frequency domain with conventional and up-to-date computation methods
  • Spatial data interpolation methods and geostatistical evaluations
