- Abstract:
- Transfer of mass within the hydrosphere causes changes in the surface loading of the solid Earth, with measurable resulting deformation. Using our uniquely precise and reliable time series of dense global GPS coordinate data, we will investigate this loading at weekly intervals spanning a decade, including (i) secular changes in loading, and (ii) possible increased seasonality of loading. We will, with allied researchers, assimilate our data with ocean/climate/ice models, both as a means of constraint on these models, and as a means of determining the behaviour of the solid Earth under loads at these timescales. Our method offers a new and complementary approach to other forms of geodetic/environmental remote sensing and will have broad impact on physical studies of global climate change.
