Research interests

Over 25 years of experience in orbital perturbations, precise orbit determination, satellite altimetry, gravity field determination and GNSS. Coordinated development of in-house POD software (Faust). Currently working on Antarctic ice mass loading; regional solutions of the static Erath gravity field from dedicated satellite gravity missions (GRACE and GOCE); the Earth’s temporal gravity field (including gravitation from LAGEOS, mass-loading from GPS, GRACE and loading models); unification of vertical datums (using tide gauges, altimetry, GPS and GRACE); quality control in precise point positioning; applications of inland water altimetry to ungauged basins and aspects of geomatics applied to Intelligent Transport Systems.
