Biography
Yaroslav Yatskiv has his expertise in the field of geodynamics and evaluation of Earth rotation peculiarities. His evaluations of Earth Pole movement are well known as open set of pole coordinates. Ya. Yatskiv initiated the development and application of new observation methods to determine the parameters of Earth rotation: laser satellite location, VLBI radio interferometry, GPS-observations. He proposed new approaches for the global planetary and celestial coordinate systems. He actively participated in preparing and fulfillment of several space missions according to the programs Vega, FOBOS, MARS, and is serving as coordinator of Space Research Program of Ukraine Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he initiated the development of the satellite project "Aerosol-UA" for microphysics of atmospheric aerosol properties study from the orbit.
