Classification of Euclidean-invariant measures?
Is there a classification of measures on $\mathbb R^n$ which are invariant under (Euclidean) isometries? Hausdorff measures of all kinds are examples -- could that be all of them? More precisely,
By ...

Can passing to a length metric increase Hausdorff measure?
For concreteness, let's say that $(X,d)$ is a metric space homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose Hausdorff 2-measure $\mathcal{H}_d^2$ is locally finite.
We can pass from $(X,d)$ to the length metric, ...
