Scientific paper

I have very engrained memories of `little g' cropping up in my school mechanics problems; then, you got the right answer by using a value of 9.8 m s-2. Now I apply gravity to investigate the interior of the Earth (and other planets and their moons), and am concerned not so much with the first one or two significant figures of g, but with variations measured in parts per million or even parts per billion. This paper looks as some of the ways, both new and well established, in which gravity helps us to understand the Earth.
