superconducting and absolute gravity measurements, remote sensing (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), digital photogrammetry using RGB and hyperspectral imagery, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and classic geospatial technologies.<br>AI, machine- and deep-learning are exploited to develop products, classify, and extract features from geospatial big data. They help to improve the modelling of cities, transport agricultural crops and trees in forests.<br>The GGE is involved in several international collaborative projects exploiting the above measurement techniques and observations, with studies based, e.g., in Luxembourg, the British Overseas Territories in the South Atlantic (islands of St Helena, Tristan da Cunha and South Georgia), Namibia, Austria as well as Antarctica and Greenland. Results provide information on ice mass loss, atmospheric changes, the hydrological cycle, crustal movements, and sea level changes, and make contributions to global and national coordinate reference frames.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"research-projects\"\n    >\nResearch projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our projects range from highly competitive national and international research grants of 3-4 years to short-term services or consultancies for industry and government administrations. The GGE is involved ins several EU-funded projects (FEDER, Interreg NWE) We also engage in several international long-term activities (10+ years), such as the International GNSS Service Tide Gauge Monitoring (TIGA) project, and make contributions to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, i.e. ITRF2020, with no additional external funding for these but for the benefit of humankind and
