GRACE/GRACE-FO Science Team Meeting 2026
The GRACE/GRACE-FO Science Team Meeting (GSTM) 2026 took place at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany, from 13 to 15 October 2026.
Session recordings for on-demand view: All registered participants have the opportunity to watch recordings of the oral sessions until 15 November 2026. Corresponding videos are linked as session materials when browsing the meeting programme.
The meeting was held in a hybrid format with a total number of 172 participants (on-site: 91, online: 81).
As usual, the GSTM2026 featured several topical sessions on specific themes. The program was composed of 75 oral presentations (56 on-site, 19 online) and 15 posters (available for on-site participants only).
The meeting started with a detailed GRACE-FO Project Status session (A.1) providing an overview of the various activities and plans of the US-German GRACE-FO Science Data System in terms of data processing and mission operations. The following sessions covered the topics analysis techniques of GRACE/GRACE-FO mission data (A.2), the planned successor mission GRACE-C, ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Mission and other future mission concepts (A.3), the Earth’s mean gravity field (A.4), applications of GRACE/GRACE-FO data in the fields of solid Earth sciences (B.1), cryosphere (B.2), oceanography (B.3), hydrology (B.4), and multidisciplinary science (B.5), and the growing use of satellite gravimetry data for operational services (B.6).
