More information, such as abstract submission, tr= avel support, registration and accommodation can be found at http://www.iag= -iaspei-2017.jp Welcome you and your colleagues to submit abstracts to=20 IAG Symposium G03 Time variable gravity field (Conveners: Shuanggen Jin, Srinivas Bettadpur, J=C3=BCrgen Kusche) Description: The time variable Earth's gravity field is related to the mass= transport and the physic processes within Earth's system (the atmosphere, = oceans, hydrology, and cryosphere), such as melting of ice sheets and glaci= ers, ocean circulation and sea level variations, hydrological cycle, post-g= lacial rebound and earthquake-induced gravity change. Nowadays, satellite g= ravimetry missions, particularly the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experimen= t (GRACE), showed great success to estimate the time-varying gravity field = with unprecedented accuracy and resolution, which has been widely used to i= nvestigate mass flux within the ocean-land water cycle and Earth's system c= oupling as well as responses to climate change together with complimentary = data from Jason-1/2, ICESat, Cryosat-2, GNSS, and InSAR. Furthermore, vario= us initiatives are ongoing to prepare for future gravity mission and most p= romising is the US/German GRACE Follow-on (GRACE-FO) mission in August 2017. This interdisciplinary session solicits contributions on (1) time-varying g= ravity field estimation and improvement from satellite gravimetry missions = and combination synergies, (2) mass transport in the Earth system and respo= nses to climate change, and (3) status and simulated results of future time= -varying gravity field missions. Looking forward to your abstract submission and seeing you in Kobe.
