Synopsis: Alex will set the scene of what Gravity is, the theory behind it and how it’s been measured historically and applications before explaining the SMG Vibrating Beam Accelerometer Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, how it is made and used in the GAIA-FIELD portable gravimeter. The advantages of the technology will be discussed along with case studies before finishing off with some of the ongoing developments and future possible applications made more accessible by the technology.
