    The Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) is an integrated Earth system model and data assimilation system developed at the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

  5. Geometrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrodynamics

    In theoretical physics, geometrodynamics is an attempt to describe spacetime and associated phenomena completely in terms of geometry.Technically, its goal is to unify the fundamental forces and reformulate general relativity as a configuration space of three-metrics, modulo three-dimensional diffeomorphisms.

    Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is NASA's first, and oldest, space center.It is named after Robert H. Goddard, the father of modern rocketry.Throughout its history, the center has managed, developed, and operated many notable missions, including the Cosmic Background Explorer, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS), the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter ...

  8. Schiehallion experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiehallion_experiment

    A modern re-examination of the geophysical data was able to take account of factors the 1774 team could not. With the benefit of a 120-km radius digital elevation model, greatly improved knowledge of the geology of Schiehallion, and the help of a computer, a 2007 report produced a mean Earth density of 5,480 ± 250 kg·m −3.
