Applied Terrestrial Gravimetry: Monitoring and Modelling Environmental Processes

Session ID#: 158788

Session Description:
Terrestrial gravimetry has gained significant importance throughout the last decade for monitoring hydrological and other environmental processes.

Nevertheless, the complete workflow from instrumental operation to interpretation of processed data is complex and requires broad and detailed inter-disciplinary knowledge. The hydrological signal component of gravity is a key example: while hydrologists want to use it for hydrological process understanding and modelling, others need to remove it as noise before further interpretation (e.g. in the fields of volcanology, geodesy, reservoir monitoring in geothermal energy or carbon storage).

This session aims at addressing all applied aspects of terrestrial gravimetry, including but not limited to: innovative gravimeter technologies, instrumental setups, monitoring strategies, data processing, signal separation and environmental interpretation. We want to encourage discussions from different user perspectives to sensitize each other on respective challenges and to ultimately foster trans-disciplinary cooperation towards advanced applications.
