If Everest ever lost its crown, the surprise would be cultural, not geological: millimeters, models, and memory would decide.

Introduction: We quantify temporal variations of geoid heights (ΔN) across Kazakhstan during 2019–2024 using satellite gravimetry, and relate these changes to recent extreme hydrological and seismic ...

One of the most puzzling phenomena lies beneath the Indian Ocean, south of Sri Lanka, where a massive gravity anomaly known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) has confounded researchers for decades, ...

// the term "geoid height" with height of a point above or below the // geoid: these heights are properly called elevations or // heights-above-MSL.

Abstract: The orthometric height variation is evident through changes in the geoid and surface vertical displacements. Hydrological mass change can induce variations in geoid height and surface ...

Have you ever wondered what the average height is? Whether you're tall, short, or somewhere in between, understanding average height can provide insight into how you measure up globally and within ...

Both genetics and environmental factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's height and overall development. Height, being a hereditary trait, is significantly influenced by one's genetic ...

ABSTRACT: In recent years, development of a proper country-specific height system has become a major challenge for the scholars and specialists working in the field of geodesy. The National Geodetic ...

For years, researchers have tried to pinpoint how an area deep in the Indian Ocean with lower gravitational pull came to be. A team in India may have figured it out. The area in question is called the ...

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...
