This chapter discusses a few general properties of Antarctica ice sheet and shows why ice sheet topography is one of the most pertinent parameters for studying the dynamics of the ice sheet. It describes specific aspects of the altimetry technique applied for studying land ice and discusses specifics of measurements of polar ice sheets by radar...

This paper is devoted to an overview of the use of hybrid gravimetry in Earth and Environmental Sciences. We first recall the concept of hybrid gravimetry which relies on the simultaneous use of different types of gravimeters either superconducting, absolute or relative spring gravimeters. This combination of instruments provides a complete...

The Action Spécifique Gravimetry of the French Research Infrastructure Epos-France is based on a mutualized national instrumental park offering scientific teams a range of measurement resources and services for the gravity field studies. It is drived by an office which aims to manage all activities in the field and runs the park. The range of...

CubeSats are tiny satellites with increasing capabilities. They have been used for more than a decade by universities to train students on space technologies, in a hands-on project aiming at building, launching and operating a real satellite. Still today, one shortcoming of CubeSats is their poor ability to transmit large amounts of data to the...
