LARES Satellite Thermal Forces and a Test of General Relativity
We summarize a laser-ranged satellite test of frame-dragging, a prediction of General Relativity, and then concentrate on the estimate of thermal thrust, an important perturbation affecting the accuracy of the test.

Local Scale Current and Projected Future Total Flood Hazard Mapping for Canada—Literature Review
ABSTRACT This review, based on 231 articles, focuses on studies relevant to Canada that assess fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flood hazards at national and broader scales. It evaluates the application of remote sensing and artificial intelligence methods for flood mapping within the Canadian context.

Gravimetric estimation of the Eötv¨ös matrix components
The components of the Eötvös matrix are useful for various geodetic applications, such as interpolation of the elements of the deflection of the vertical, determination of gravity anomalies and determination of geoid heights. A torsion balance instrument

Analysis of Agro‐Environmental and Geo‐Climatic Factors Influencing Buruli Ulcer in the Kimpese Health Zone in Kongo Central, Democratic Republic of Congo [PDF]
This study investigates the link between Buruli ulcer (BU) and agro‐environmental and geo‐climatic factors in rural settings. By analyzing land use, water proximity, and rainfall patterns, it highlights key exposure risks and reinforces the need for targeted environmental surveillance and preventive measures in endemic areas to reduce BU transmission ...

Satellite Geodesy—Foundations, Methods, and Applications
This text is an updated English translation of Satellitengeodasie, a book that was published in German in 1989. The text is the first in many years that attempts to cover the broad spectrum of methods, applications, and systems, both classical and current, that have developed in the field of satellite geodesy.The material is presented in a structure ...

Deep Ocean Steric Sea Level Change in the Subtropical Northwest Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The non‐closure of the global sea level budget, detected since 2017, stimulates the need to better understand limitations of satellite altimetry and gravimetry measurements, and breakdown in situ measurement contributions and gaps. Here, temperature and salinity profiles collected in the subtropical Northwest Atlantic Ocean between 2017 and ...

A numerical test of the topographic bias
In 1962 A. Bjerhammar introduced the method of analytical continuation in physical geodesy, implying that surface gravity anomalies are downward continued into the topographic masses down to an internal sphere (the Bjerhammar sphere).
