Modern geodetic observing systems are sensitive to a wide range of changes in the Earth’s solid and fluid layers at very diverging spatial and temporal scales related to processes as, e.g., glacial isostatic adjustment, the terrestrial water cycle, Earth's energy balance, ocean dynamics, sea-level, and ice-mass balance. Progressive and accelerating climate change turns out to be strongly reflected in the characteristics of the above processes and also captured by geodetic observing systems. 

We invite contributions utilizing geodetic data from e.g. altimetry, gravimetry, navigation satellite systems or remote sensing techniques that are based on both passive and active instruments. New approaches helping to separate and interpret the variety of geophysical and climate-related signals present in observations, e.g., through modeling approaches, are equally appreciated.

The session closely adheres to the ideas of the Inter-Commission Committee on "Geodesy for Climate Research" (ICCC).
