G4.1 Gravity field research - data acquisition - processing and - interpretation |
Convener: Bruno Meurers | Co-Conveners: Mikhail Kaban , Hans-Jürgen Götze , Carla Braitenberg , Shuanggen Jin |
Gravity field data contribute to a wide range of geo-scientific research, from imaging the structure of the earth and research on geodynamical processes like mass transport phenomena or deformation processes to near surface investigation and the use of gravity data in modern definition of height systems (physical geodesy).
The session is dedicated to contributions related to spatial and temporal variations of the Earth gravity field in all spatial and temporal scales. Contributions to modern gravity field research are welcome, including instrumental issues, data processing techniques, gravity interpretation methods, innovative applications from the modern geodetic satellites as GOCE and GRACE, potential theory as well as interpretation results.
