Geodetic and Geophysical Observations in Antarctica. An overview in IPY perspective

The polar regions with their unique geophysical and geodynamic environment are characterized by close interactions between solid earth, cryosphere, hydrosphere and athmosphere. They are directly linked to the global climate system. Geodetic and geophysical observations play an essential role in the...
