  Gravimetric points: "IAE", "Kluchi", "Borovoe" at Novosibirsk region; point "Talaya" at Baikal rift zone (Irkutsk region).

     The main field of research is the investigation of tidal and non-tidal variations of gravity g using absolute laser gravimeters with the error of measurements variations of g about 1 microgal. The absolute laser gravimeters GABL, GABL-M and GABL-E are developed at the Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS. They have no analogues in Former SU by accuracy of measurements and are in the row of the best absolute gravimeters in the world by the results of the official international metrological comparisons. There were created about 40 gravimetric points on the wide area of the Earth by these gravimeters. Parts of them are included in the Catalogue of International Absolute Gravity Base-station Network and Catalogue of Adjustment of the Unified European Gravity Network (UEGN 94). Conditions.
Gravimeters are in a state of preparedness and are used now in geophysical experiments. On the gravimetric points there are house-rooms, feed, telephone and E-mail connections. Rough estimate of the work with gravimeter is $50 per day, cost of hotel accommodation is $40 (single), cost of feeding is the same as in Europe, passage from Novosibirsk to station "Talaya" and back is about $300.
