In the book , dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Vsevolod Vladimirovich Brovar - a major domestic scientist in the field of geodetic gravimetry and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail Sergeyevich Molodensky - a domestic surveyor and geophysicist , the founder of the modern theory of the figure of the Earth , freed geodesy from hypotheses about the internal structure of the Earth and turned it into an exact science The relations of gravimetry with one of the nearest Earth sciences are considered - geodesy .. The aim of the work is to show the fruitful mutual influence of gravimetry and geodesy , Evolution in Time of the Aims and Tasks of Geodesy and Gravimetry , Summary of the main theoretical results , experimental and production works in the field of geodetic gravimetry (or physical geodesy) at the turn of the second and third millennium , transition from a private to a system solution of geodesy and gravimetry problems , as well as in determining the prospects for the development of gravimetry in the interests of geodesy. n. The book is designed for the attention of surveyors, gravimeterists, astronomers, geophysicists, builders, navigators, ballistics, designers and organizers of science, and is of interest to scientists, graduate students, students and all interested in the development of gravimetry and geodesy.
