The article is dedicated to the achievements of satellite altimetry in the geosciences. The area of application of satellite altimetry is growing. In addition to already become classical tasks of geodesy satellite altimetry data have been widely used in many earth sciences geology, oceanography, glaciology, hydrology, landscape studies, etc.
Keywords: спутниковая альтиметрия, науки о Земле, satellite altimetry, geosciences
