This volume discusses recent advances and future prospects in the exploration of the gravity field. Both theoretical and practical aspects, ranging from gravity instrumentation, space and airborne gradiometry, satellite altimetry, the presentation of international measurement campaigns and projects, networks and gravity field-related data bases and software, to geophysical inversion techniques and recent undertakings such as the determination of the geoid in Europe, are dealt with.
The papers contained in this volume and presented at the Symposium "Gravity and Geoid" held in Graz, Austria, September 1994 focus on these topics and provide the present state of the art in instrumentation, measurement, theoretical research and practical application. This volume may serve as a platform for ongoing research and development in this most exciting branch of geosciences.
