Are you interested in water storage, sea level, ice sheets, crust-mantle dynamics, or any other mass change signals? Please complete the following user requirement survey and help shape future satellite gravity missions Mass changes on and below the Earth’s surface, such as from water storage variations to groundwater use, glacier melt, sea level change, and earthquakes, among many others, c ...[Read More]

Geodetic Data and Products – Idea of a Central Access Point

  The services of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) provide very important and valuable geodetic data, information, and data products that are increasingly relevant for Earth System research, including monitoring of global change phenomena and a wide range of diverse applications such as satellite navigation, surveying, mapping, engineering, geospatial information systems, and so ...[Read More]

Finding your way through a conference using the EGU Mentoring Programme (Figure courtesy: Öykü Koç)

  The 2023 General Assembly is gaining momentum. Did you ever consider taking part as a mentor (or mentee) in EGU’s mentoring programme? If you ask me, it’s a nice opportunity to increase the odds of being a positive influence to someone, and you may learn some things in the process too. Who’s your positive influence? Here’s a mental exercise: name 3 people who positively influenced your care ...[Read More]

Want to really understand sea-level rise? Bring in the geodesists!

Want to really understand sea-level rise? Bring in the geodesists!
Trends in sea level over 2005-2019 using satellite altimetry and gravimetry data.

  A remarkably large number of papers and proposals have sentences like “this study is critical to better project future sea-level rise” in their introduction. Most times this is just marketing to trick reviewers and program managers into believing the work is important. On the other hand, geodetic papers and proposals have some compelling reasons to use this statement: a lot of geodetic tech ...[Read More]
