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:Tracking Mountain Aquifer using Space Geodesy
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\,\n\nWe are pleased to announce our first seminar for our series\, hosted by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Working Group 3.1: Hydrologic Signature in Geodetic Observations\, will be given by Matthew Swarr\, from the University of Montana.  This seminar wil be held at 11:00 EDT/ 8:00 PDT/ 16:00 CET/ 23:00 CST.\n\nJoin the webinar:  \nhttps://iu.zoom.us/j/82295302430\nMeeting ID: 822 9530 2430\n\nTitle: Tracking Mountain Aquifer Storage and Discharge Using Space Geodesy\nAbstract: Fractured bedrock underlying mountain ranges is a critical source of water for mountain and adjacent low-elevation communities and ecosystems. 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
