IGFS 2014

This collection brings together 24 peer-reviewed papers presented at the third General Assembly of the International Gravity Field Service. The meeting took place in Shanghai, China, from June 30 to July 6, 2014, and was run jointly by the Service, Commission 2 of the International Association of Geodesy, and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. More than 130 people from 25 countries attended.

The papers examine how the Earth's gravity field is measured, estimated and interpreted, and how those results are applied. Topics include gravimetry and gravity networks, global geopotential models and the unification of vertical datums, local geoid and gravity modelling, satellite gravimetry, movements of mass within the Earth system, and investigations of the solid Earth.
