Summary
Increasing global population and potential for global and local hydrological and meteorological changes, e.g., due to the rapid changes in temperature regimes, has led urgency to study the global water cycle. Modern Satellite Geodesy techniques such as the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experience (GRACE), Global Positioning System (GPS), and Satellite Altimetry provide an almost direct measurement of water that is redistributed at or near the surface of the Earth by oceanic and atmospheric circulations and through the terrestrial water cycle. To utilize these observations to address scientific questions, e.g., quantification of ice sheet and glacier melt, changes in ocean circulations, variations of surface and groundwater level and river discharge, glacial isostatic adjustment, mantle convection and tectonics, scientists face with three major problems: 1) Signal/noise separation in measurement systems, 2) Signal/signal separation to identify the source of mass fluxes, and 3) Identifying the drivers of mass changes. My research addresses multi-sensor and mathematical techniques to address these problems.
