We are convening a session called Satellite Gravimetry and Geophysical Applications at the AOGS (Asia Oceania Geosciences Society) Annual Meeting in Fukuoka, Japan (August 2-7, 2026). We hope that some Geodesy folks will consider submitting an abstract. The abstract submission is available at the following link until the deadline of January 30, 2026.

(Abstract submission via the AOGS MARS online platform: https://meetmatt-svr.net/)
We are excited to hear about new findings on the applications of Gravimetry in Global Climate Change and Geodynamics. We also welcome Geodetic studies using multi-source observations by combing satellite gravimetry with satellite altimetry, GNSS, InSAR, etc.

SE40: Satellite Gravimetry and Geophysical Applications
The GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) 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. Satellite gravimetry has 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 satellite gravity measurements in monitoring mass changes in the climate system, there are still major challenges in validating GRACE/GRACE-FO measurements and improving data processing methods that can better recover climate-change and geodynamic signals from satellite gravity observations. This session solicits contributions ranging from validations and uncertainty assessments of satellite gravimetry measurements, improved data calibration and processing methods, to geophysical applications of GRACE/GRACE-FO data to improve the understanding of Earth geodynamic change and global mass transport and redistribution in the climate system. Multi-source observation studies on the above topics by combing satellite gravimetry with other traditional and space geodetic techniques (such as terrestrial gravimetry, leveling, satellite altimetry, GNSS, InSAR, etc.) are also welcomed.
Keywords: Gravity, Global climate change, Geodynamics
