Session programme

B – Geophysics & Climate Science Applications

Program group chairs: Frank Flechtner, Angelika Svarovsky

B.1

Papers are invited on studies of the GIA and the Earth's crustal structure; lithospheric and mantle properties; analyses of seismic events, etc., using the long-term mean and time-variable gravity field.

Live display program
| Wed, 28 Oct, 10:00–10:45 (CET), 17:45–18:00 (CET)
B.2

This session will address the measurements of change in the Earth's ice sheets, at all spatio-temporal scales, the science advancements and open questions in the interpretation of these results, current uncertainties as well fusion/cross-validation of GRACE and GRACE-FO data with other sensors and models.

B.3

Papers are solicited on the advances in oceanographic applications of GRACE and GRACE-FO data products, including signal interpretation and model assimilation. Other topics include, but are not limited to, the validation of data products, the studies of regional or global oceanographic processes, exploitation of GRACE and GRACE-FO data products jointly with data from other missions (such as GOCE), or other in situ oceanographic measurement systems (e.g. ARGO), etc.

B.4

Papers are solicited reporting on advances in hydrological applications based on GRACE and GRACE-FO data products, including signal interpretation and model assimilation, the assessment of hydrological trends and long-term water storage variations or GRACE and GRACE-FO data products that are optimized for terrestrial hydrology.

B.5

Some GRACE science topics do not readily fit into the categories available below. If you are unsure where your paper topics fit, please submit to this session. We will sort it out later.

B.6

This session focuses on the applications of GRACE/GRACE-FO, together with other remote sensing, in-situ or numerical model data, to inform resource management, policy development, and decision-making at all time-scales. Some examples include recently finalized EU's G3P (Global Gravity-based Groundwater Project), NASA's Applied Sciences Program, and other such efforts.
