Research in our group focuses on developing satellite-geodetic methods to improve our understanding of the Earth system, and integrating geodetic data with numerical Earth System Models. This includes observation techniques at various length scales, from lunar orbiter ranging, satellite radar altimetry and spaceborne gravimetry and mass change monitoring, to terrestrial GNSS reflectometry. We also explore the potential use of terrestrial and spaceborne quantum technology for quantifying processes related to climate change.
