Gravimeter
Gravimeter

Gravimeters are passive sensors that measure the strength of Earth’s gravitational field. These measurements are used for determining density variations in rocks, oil and mineral prospecting, the monitoring of glacier changes, and the study of volcanic activity. Gravimeters can be used for airborne and ground-based operations.
