SUMMARY:Hydrologic Signature in Geodetic Observations
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\, \nWe are pleased to announce our second seminar for our series\, hosted by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Working Group 3.1: Hydrologic Signature in Geodetic Observations\, given by Wenjin Chen\, Assistant Professor at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology\, China. This seminar will be held on April 1 at 10:00 EDT/ 7:00 PDT/ 16:00 CET/ 23:00 CST. \nJoin the webinar:\nhttps://iu.zoom.us/j/82304710308\nMeeting ID: 823 0471 0308 \nTitle: Algorithms and Software for efficient Gravity forward modeling of hydrological mass changes \nAbstract: Gravimetric forward modeling is a fundamental tool in physical geodesy and gravimetric geophysics to model the gravitational potential and its derivatives from a prescribed subsurface density distribution. This paper presents a systematic review and unified formulation of forward modeling algorithms in Cartesian and spherical coordinate systems\, defined in both spatial and spectral domains. In the Cartesian coordinate framework\, analytical and numerical expressions are provided for a simple representation of volumetric mass elements that include point mass\, vertical line mass\, horizontal mass layer\, and prism as well as for more complex and generalized representations involving volumetric mass bodies bounded by variable upper and lower interfaces and volumetric mass bodies with arbitrary geometries and heterogeneous density distribution. In the spherical coordinates\, expressions are given for prism and tesseroid together with two spectral domain approaches involving tesseroid modeling combined with spherical harmonic analysis and concentric-shell method suited for arbitrary mass geometries. Numerical experiments\, based on using digital terrain model of Tibet and Himalaya\, demonstrate that compared to prism method\, simple point and line mass approaches reproduce only the long-wavelength gravity field\, with gravity differences typically up to about 12 mGal and gravity gradient discrepancies about 0.45 E\, whereas the horizontal layer method agrees with the prism gravity solution within ±0.01 mGal and approaches almost zero differences for gravity gradient solutions. Models with variable interfaces or full arbitrary geometries can deviate by 8 mGal in regions with extremely complex topography\, underscoring necessity of realistic geometric representation in high resolution applications. Spectral domain implementations in both Cartesian and spherical coordinates substantially reduce computational time when compared with direct spatial integration techniques\, while preserving numerical accuracy that is effectively indistinguishable from spatial domain algorithms at regional scales. These results highlight the trade-offs between geometric realism\, accuracy\, and computational efficiency\, and provide practical guidance for selecting suitable forward modeling strategies in numerical studies. Finally\, we present several examples of hydrological mass changes derived from gravity forward modeling.

Despite the importance of mountain groundwater systems to water supplies of major socioeconomic regions\, quantifying storage changes within these aquifers remains a challenge. To evaluate the fate of water stored in mountain systems and the role of extreme precipitation events\, such as atmospheric rivers\, in replenishing groundwater storage\, we use high-precision Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) surface displacements to constrain changes in groundwater storage within the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges\, two important mountainous regions of the Western United States. We find that mountain aquifers have been significantly depleted over the past two decades\, associated with recurrent severe multi-year droughts within these regions. However\, extremely wet winters\, can replenish storage by more than twice the average annual flux over relatively short periods\, driving the state of groundwater storage from historical lows to above normal conditions. Further\, we find GNSS derived groundwater storage changes are strongly correlated with observed groundwater head from wells. These findings show that periods of extreme precipitation rapidly recharge mountain aquifer systems and can offset multi-year losses. Moreover\, mountain aquifer systems can retain storage gains for several years post-event\, providing a durable source of streamflow\, agricultural\, and municipal water supply. As extreme precipitation events are predicted to become more intense and frequent in coming years\, we hypothesize that these events may help offset groundwater loss due to aridification\, sustaining ecosystems and buffering against a new\, drier climate normal. Additionally\, we provide insights on a newly developed method to constrain the hydraulic properties of mountain groundwater systems at the mountain range-scale using fluid diffusion models in combination with our GNSS-inferred estimates of groundwater storage. Our results indicate the effective hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock within the Sierra Nevada and Cascades is an order of magnitude higher than previous findings\, and we find consistency between our estimates of the average groundwater flow path length within the Sierra Nevada and Cascades and those derived from perennial and intermittent and perennial stream networks\, respectively\, indicating the Cascades to be a recharge dominated groundwater system with increased regional groundwater flow compared to the Sierra Nevada. These results further the current understanding of the storage and release properties of mountain groundwater systems as well as highlighting the use of geodetic observations in advancing groundwater hydrology.\n\n\nCarla Braitenberg and Grace Carlson\n\nGrace Carlson\nshe/ her\nDepartment of Geography\nIndiana University\n\n\nCarla Braitenberg\nDepartment of Mathematics\, Informatics and Geosciences\nUniversity of Trieste

SUMMARY:Talks on GIA Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Paul Tregoning (Australian National University\, Canberra\, Australia)\, will present \n“A tool to assess the accuracy of glacial isostatic adjustment predictions of present-day crustal uplift rates” \nWhile there are many global and regional glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models available that can be used to compute expected present-day uplift rates of the surface of the Earth\, they do not always agree in their predictions. Obtaining accurate estimates of uncertainties in predictions is difficult due to the assumptions that must be made when constructing the GIA models\, and geodetic users often simply adopt a preferred model or assign uncertanties based on the spread of values derived from several models. Here we show that\, through a combination of gravity changes observed by GRACE/GRACE-FO and uplift observed by GNSS\, it is possible to quantify the error in uplift rates of one or more GIA models. Whilst it is not possible to repair the GIA models directly\, this tool can be used to identify regions where ice histories and/or Earth rheology parameters are deficient in the GIA models. In this talk I will give examples of locations where GIA modelling appears to be very accurate as well as indicate some locations that are clearly problematic.

SUMMARY:“Talks on GIA” seminar 3
DESCRIPTION:Mirjam Bilker-Koivula (Finnish Geospatial Research Institute) and Holger Steffen (Lantmäteriet\, Sweden)\, will present \n“The Whys and Hows of Dealing with Glacial Isostatic Adjustment in a Mapping Authority” \nGlacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) affects among others vertical datums\, sea-level measurements\, GNSS heights\, and crustal motion models. Hence\, it creates technical and practical challenges for mapping agencies. They have to address them in their daily work by updating geodetic reference frames\, modeling vertical land motion\, adjusting elevation datasets\, communicating changes to users\, maintaining long-term stability of coordinates and more. We will present some examples how two authorities\, Lantmäteriet in Sweden and the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI)\, handle GIA. We will focus on deformation and gravity change\, but also provide snapshots of Lantmäteriet’s communication efforts and FGI’s GIA-related investigations in Antarctica.

SUMMARY:“Talks on GIA” seminar
DESCRIPTION:Helio Guerra Neto and Jeff Freymueller from Michigan State University\, East Lansing\, USA\, will present \n“GIA in the Great Lakes Basin: A Geodetic Perspective on Vertical Motion and Hydrological Loading” \nVertical crustal motion in the Great Lakes Basin\, North America\, results from a combination of ongoing Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) and environmental and hydrological loadings. The hinge line for present-day vertical motion from GIA passes through the region\, and the last 15 years have featured significant rise and then fall of the water levels in the Great Lakes. The region is also densely instrumented with continuous GNSS sites\, due to extensive networks operated by US states. We are involved in a project with the goal of constraining groundwater changes in the region\, and to make those measurements we need to remove the GIA signal accurately. In this presentation\, we will discuss recent advances in our project\, using GNSS time series to quantify vertical land motion across the basin\, emphasizing the challenges of distinguishing long-term uplift signals (GIA) from the elastic responses to local mass variations.\nWe identify three distinct periods with very different patterns of local mass variations. Before 2012\, the water levels in the Great Lakes were stable\, and GRACE data suggest minimal total water changes across the region; this time interval should thus feature motions entirely due to GIA. From 2012-2019\, water levels in the Lakes rose to record highs\, and since 2020 the water levels have been falling at a similar rate. We thus examine the velocities in map view and along profiles roughly normal to the ice front.\nWe have compared the predictions of a large number of GIA models (mainly variations in the Earth models) with the pre-2012 observations\, which should be due entirely to GIA. We find that none of the GIA models adequately predict the observed data\, and models fail systematically: they all predict the hinge line to be located too far south. When viewed along a profile normal to the ice front\, our data look very much like a GIA model curve. We thus experimented with an empirical correction in which we shift the GIA model predictions laterally and identify a suite of models that predict profiles with the same shape as the data. The model predictions need to be shifted northward to northeastward\, which would likely mean that an ice model with less ice near the southern ice front in the Great Lakes region would fit the data better.

SUMMARY:"Talks on GIA" seminar
DESCRIPTION:“Talks on GIA” seminar – Constraining GIA where the mantle is heterogeneous AND Community Priorities for GNSS Measurements\nWe will have two presentations. \n\nErica Lucas (University of California\, Santa Cruz\, USA) will present “Constraining Glacial Isostatic Adjustment where the mantle is heterogeneous”.\nTerry Wilson (Ohio State University\, Columbus\, USA) will present “Community Priorities for GNSS Measurements to Constrain GIA – Results of a Survey”\n\n“Constraining Glacial Isostatic Adjustment where the mantle is heterogeneous”\nTo date\, investigations of the impact of 3-D Earth structure on GIA have adopted solid Earth viscoelastic models based on global- and continental-scale seismic imaging\, with variability at spatial length scales >150 km. However\, regional body-wave tomography shows mantle structure variability at smaller length scales (∼50–100 km) in central West Antarctica. We investigate the effects of incorporating smaller-scale lateral variability in upper-mantle viscosity into 3-D GIA simulations\, finding that upper-mantle structure at the glacial drainage basin scale is found to impact GIA model predictions for modern and projected ice mass changes. Differences between simulations adopting upper-mantle viscosity structure inferred from regional- versus coarser continental-scale seismic imaging are large enough to impact the interpretation of crustal motion observations from GNSS and reach up to ∼15 % of the total predicted sea level change during the instrumental record. \n“Community Priorities for GNSS Measurements to Constrain GIA – Results of a Survey”\nA survey in 2025 revealed community views on the most pressing science questions in Antarctica that can be addressed using GNSS measurements and on the regions in Antarctica where in situ GNSS observations will be most helpful in answering these science questions. A summary of survey results will be presented for discussion.

SUMMARY:5th IVS Training School on VLBI for Geodesy and Astrometry
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this training school is to prepare for the next generation of VLBI\, both in terms of technical development and knowledge transfer between generations of researchers. The new VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) is being installed worldwide and continues to develop.  VGOS promises significant improvement in the accuracy of VLBI results.  Thus\, VGOS will be of great importance for geosciences and global change research as part of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). \nThe successful development of VLBI technology in the future requires training and educating the young generation of scientists and their familiarization with all aspects of VLBI technology\, starting with VLBI station instrumentation receiving and converting the radio signal\, data processing and analysis and obtaining the final results\, such as Terrestrial and Celestial Reference Frames and Earth Orientation Parameters. \nThe IVS Training School is organized by the IVS Committee on Education and Training (IVS CTE)\nDetails about the school will be made available in due time on the website:\nhttps://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/about-nls/organisation/cooperation-groups/ivs-committee-education-and-training/5th-ivs-training\nFor further information contact Nataliya Zubko (firstname.lastname@nls.fi) \nEvent Category: ivs

SUMMARY:South African National Geodesy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Towards a National Geodesy Working Group for South Africa  \nGeodesy — the science of measuring the Earth’s shape\, orientation\, gravity field\, and changes over time — is the foundation of modern mapping\, positioning\, land administration\, infrastructure\, and climate monitoring. \nSouth Africa has a proud history in terrestrial and space geodesy\, from early triangulation networks to today’s NRF Space Geodesy facilities\, TrigNet GNSS stations\, tide gauges\, and participation in global collaborations. Yet\, our efforts remain fragmented across institutions\, with limited coordination. \nIn 2015\, the United Nations adopted Resolution A/RES/69/266 on the Global Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development (GGRF)\, calling on all countries to strengthen geodetic infrastructure\, skills\, and governance. South Africa must respond by aligning nationally and globally. \nTo this end\, a National Geodesy Workshop will be convened to: \n\nBring together key stakeholders in geodesy.\nStrengthen coordination of infrastructure\, data\, services\, and skills.\nAlign with the UN-GGRF agenda.\nEstablish a National Geodesy Working Group as a formal coordination mechanism.\n\nThis is an exciting step towards ensuring that South Africa continues to play a leading role in geodesy\, contributing both to national development and the global community.

SUMMARY:GRACE Hackweek 5
DESCRIPTION:An online school on time-variable gravity from GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite missions\nSatellite gravimetry has become an indispensible tool for studying the earth system. The satellite missions CHAMP\, GRACE/GRACE-FO and GOCE along with Satellite Laser Ranging have demonstrated the utility of time-variable gravity data in understanding the mass changes and their transport within and between the hydropshere\, cryosphere\, atmosphere\, oceans and the solid earth. \nThe challenging aspects of satellite gravimetry are the recovery of time-variable gravity from observations due to the low signal- to-noise ratio\, and the use of time-variable gravity data by non- geodesists. It is our aim in this online school to give an idea of the time variable gravity field recovery process from satellite gravimetry missions\, and also to help non-geodesists to get to grips with handling time-variable gravity data from GRACE/GRACE-FO. \nThe online school is open to everyone interested in using time- variable gravity for their research. Certificates will be issued to participants who complete all the labs. We look forward to your participation and a fruitful online school. The last date of application is September 19\, 2025 (UTC). \nRegistration: https://forms.office.com/r/WzP7GdBbwk \nMore Info: GRACE Hackweek 5 – Program \n  \nOrganizing Committee: \nProf. Balaji Devaraju (IIT Kanpur\, India); Prof. Nico Sneeuw (Uni. Stuttgart\, Germany); Prof. Matthias Weigelt (Leibniz Uni. Hannover\, Germany)
