GGOS: The Applications

Mass redistribution in the Earth system. All geophysical processes are associated with mass redistribution and changes in the dynamics, thus affecting commonly the Earth's gravity field, geometry, and rotation. Consequently, geodesy with observations of the "three pillars" contributes to an observing system that allows the monitoring of mass transport in the Earth system.
