IAG Symposium on Terrestrial Gravimetry "Static and Mobile Measurements"
On 22-25 June 2010 IAG Symposium on Terrestrial Gravimetry: Static and Mobile Measurements (TG-SMM2010) was held by the State Research Center of the Russian Federation - Concern CSRI Elektropribor, JSC, supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and St. Petersburg Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Symposium topics include:
- instrumentation and methods for absolute and relative measurement of gravity fields, static and mobile measurements and their application to shipborne, airborne platforms (planes, helicopters, airships) and other mobile platforms;
- absolute ballistic gravimeters (including those based on the use of cold atoms), relative gravimeters of all types including superconducting gravimeters;
- gravity gradiometers;
- new results of measurement of gravity networks and the coverage of new regions;
- metrology issues in gravimetry, the results of the comparisons of absolute gravimeters, application of gravity measurements in metrology;
- standardization and databases of absolute measurements of the gravity field;
- gravitational experiments.
The following topics are especially welcome for presentation at the Symposium:
- new technologies and applications of gravity measurements such as planetary absolute and relative gravimetry;
- links between satellite and terrestrial or planetary gravity measurements;
- possible applications of terrestrial gravimetry in combination with GPS/GLONASS technologies;
- gravimetry applications in navigation.
The Symposium languages are English and Russian.
Simultaneous interpretation will be provided from Russian into English and from English into Russian.
The Symposium was headed by the International Program Committee consisting of the leading specialists from Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, from Argentina, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Russia, and USA.

The Symposium slogan read: Measuring gravity, measuring the Earth.
Symposium sessions included
- Terrestrial, shipboard and airborne gravimetry,
- Absolute gravimetry,
- Relative gravimetry, gravity networks and applications of gravimetry,
