Geophysics and Gravity Measurements

Description: This cluster of papers focuses on the global variability and change in sea level, with an emphasis on utilizing GRACE and other satellite measurements to understand factors such as groundwater depletion, polar ice sheet mass loss, and the impact of climate change. The papers also explore the use of hydrological and geodetic modeling to assess land water storage and its contribution to sea level rise.
