Riassunto

The continuation of vigorous research on gravity has led to developments in theory, measurement and global gravity models, with applications ranging from the search for the "fifth force" to a determination of sediment structure at the bottom of a deep ocean trench. The presentations in this volume provide a detailed review of these developments focused on four main themes: - Relativity, Fifth Force & Philosophy, - Gravity Measurement, - Space Techniques & Global Models, - Regional Gravity, Geodynamics and Tectonics
