This research focuses on the Earth's rotation and orientation, studying irregularities caused by mass redistributions and gravitational forces. It aims to improve the accuracy of Earth orientation models, enhancing our understanding of geophysical processes.
The rotation of the Earth has long been used as a measure of time, and the stars as reference points to determine travellers’ whereabouts on the globe.
Today, precise timescales are provided using atomic clocks and precise positioning is determined using geodetic techniques such as GPS grounded on two reference frames: the terrestrial frame, fixed relative to the Earth and rotating synchronously with the planet, and the celestial frame, which is immobile in space, where the artificial satellites…
