Scientific paper

Advances made in understanding terrestrial dynamics through the use of VLBI are reviewed. The way in which radio signals emitted by distant quasars are used in this application of VLBI is described. Progress achieved in understanding the mechanism sustaining the polar motion, measuring fluctuations in the earth's rotation, analyzing the effects of the atmosphere on the rotation, and studying the structure of the earth's interior are addressed.
