GRACE session at AOGS 2020


Dear Colleagues:

The 2020 Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) annual meeting will be
held in Hongcheon, Korea during June 28 - July 4. We would like to draw
your attention to session IG24 on: Satellite Gravimetry and Geophysical
Applications (see session abstract below).

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session. The abstract
submission deadline is January 21, 2020
(http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2020/).

We look forward to seeing you in Hongcheon this summer!

With best wishes for a Happy New Year,

Jianli Chen


IG24: Satellite Gravimetry and Geophysical Applications

Convener: Jianli Chen
Co-conveners: Kosuke Heki, Henryk Dobslaw, Ki-Weon Seo

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On
(GFO) missions provide a means for measuring temporal and spatial
variations of mass redistribution within the Earth system, with
unprecedented accuracy. GRACE/GFO satellite gravimetry has launched a
new era in studying a series of geophysical problems ranging from deep
Earth structure to tracking mass redistribution on and near the surface
of the Earth, and greatly improved our understanding of mass
redistribution in various compartments of the Earth climate system,
including the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial water, and cryosphere.
Aside from the successful applications of GRACE/GFO satellite gravity
measurements in monitoring and measuring mass changes in the climate
system, there are still major challenges in validating GRACE
measurements and improving data processing methods that can better
recover climate change signal from GRACE/GFO measurements. This session
solicits contributions ranging from validations and uncertainty
assessments of GRACE/GFO measurements, improved data calibration and
processing methods, to geophysical applications of GRACE/GFO data to
improve the understanding of Earth geodynamic change and global mass
transport and redistribution in the climate system.
