Abstract

Fairly complex processes of lithosphere–ionosphere interactions can be explored by diagnosing the outer envelopes of the Earth with the use of global satellite navigational systems and equally global network of ground receivers and very-low-frequency transmitters. The earthquake and tsunami impacts on the ionosphere are the example of these processes. The current advances in the studies of these processes are briefly outlined.
