Although the EGSIEM project is 'finished' in the narrow sense of us no longer receiving funding from the EU the work continues on EGSIEM, we will have our so called wash-up meeting in Bern on the 8-9 February which will be attended by representatives of the EU. The consortium has also been busily finishing up its scientific commitments with the submission of a number of technical documents over Christmas.
These 'Deliverables' are part of the criteria by which our project is judged and they can all be downloaded from our Documents>Publications page, for a direct link please click EGSIEM Deliverables.
We are pleased to announce that the presentations given at the EGSIEM Autumn School are now available for download, simply click on the Autumn School tab at the top of the page and scroll down to see a list of presentations.

In association with the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research the EGSIEM project is delighted to announce an Autumn School on Satellite Gravimetry Applications.
More information about the school, logistics and how to apply can be found at egsiem.eu/autumn-school.
We look forward to seeing you in Potsdam!
Scientists from EGSIEM were able to present many facets of our project at Europe's largest gathering of geoscientists (in Vienna at the European Geosciences Union conference), where nearly 15,000 acadedemics from 107 countries participated.

Since April 2002, the GRACE satellite mission has been churning out water storage anomaly data, which have been shown to be a unique descriptor of large-scale hydrological extreme events, such as floods and droughts. Nonetheless, efforts to assess the comprehensive information from GRACE on total water storage variations for near-real time (NRT) flood or drought monitoring or forecasting have been limited so far, primarily due to the coarse temporal (monthly to weekly) and spatial (>150.000 km2) resolution, and the latency of standard products of about 2 months.
The two GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellites have continuously mapped the Earth's gravity field during their 15-years mission.

On March 2, 2017 the Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and SwissCore invited various experts from the European Commisssion and ESA to the Helmholtz Brussels Office to a Teatime Event “GRACE-FO – the launch of a new chapter in our knowledge of the Earth’s gravity field”.
As the invitees strongly believe that mass transport data and applications are highly relevant for the development of research and innovation programmes in the EU, the U.S.A., and worldwide, the intention of this meeting was to provide information on the technological background and scientific success and application potential of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission and to make aware on its Follow-on mission (GRACE-FO), which is due for launch early in 2018.
