Abstract: Abstract This contribution aims at directing the attention towards the main inverse problem of geodesy, i.e. the recovery of the geopotential. At present, geodesy is in the favorable situation that dedicated satellite missions for gravity field recovery are already operational, providing globally distributed and high-resolution datasets to perform this task. Due to the immense amount of data and the ever-growing interest in more detailed models of the Earth’s static and time-variable gravity field to meet the current requirements of geoscientific research, new fast and efficient solution algorithms for successful geopotential recovery are required.
