Description:
The development of new techniques and their applications to problems in satellite geodesy, oceanography, orbit determination, long-time prediction, regularization, potential determination, stability of natural and artificial satellites and planets, etc. are described. Applications to polar motion, earth rotation and to tectonic plate motion are discussed as related to the Lageos, Starlette and Seasat missions. Numerical averaging techniques are described for the determination of the long term motion of near-resonant gravitational systems with application to Jupiter's Galilean satellites. Regions of long-time stability and ergodicity are established in the restricted problem.
