In this article we provide the literature review of the geological and geographical problems which were successfully solved due to application of GRACE satellite mission data. GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) is gravitational satellite mission the purpose of which is precise mapping of variations of Earth’s gravity field. The data has high resolution that gives the opportunity to solve a lot of geological and geographical problems.
