The GRACE Science Team Meeting 2014 was held on September 29 - October 01, 2014 at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences.
More than 100 scientists from 16 countries participated in the meeting.

The GRACE Science Team Meeting 2014 was organized by moderated discussions on specific themes, each consisting of invited and contributed presentations plus room for open-floor questions and answers. The format of the moderated sessions was in the responsibility of the respective conveners. The contributed abstracts were organized by subject, and delivered as either oral or poster presentations (see Meeting Program for further details).

The meeting was opened with a brief Project Status session, which consisted of updates on the mission status, the flight segment technical status, and status and information on the latest operational Level-1B and RL05 Level-2 data releases from the GRACE Science Data System.

Sessions:

A. GRACE Geodesy

A.1 Analysis Techniques & Inter-comparisons:
For presentations on methods, algorithms and results from GRACE data analysis and error assessments providing insights into spatio-temporal signal content including diverse methods of error reduction. The session also invites discussions on inter-comparisons between various GRACE gravity time-series and assessments of the significance of the differences and analysis of possible causes.
Session Convener: Srinivas Bettadpur & Jürgen Kusche

A.2 GRACE Follow-On & NGGM
Discussion of the status of the GRACE Follow-On mission and progress towards the realization, technology, simulation and error analyses of Next Generation Gravity Mission concepts. Also invited are papers dealing with methods other than GRACE for bridging the potential data gap between GRACE and GRACE Follow-On.
Session Convener: Mike Watkins & Frank Flechtner

B. Geophysics & Climate Science Applications

B.1 Multidisciplinary Science
Some GRACE science topics do not readily fit into the categories available above. If you are unsure where your paper topics fit, please submit to this session. We will sort it out later.
Session Convener: Matthias Weigelt

B.2 Cryosphere
This session will address the measurements of change in the Earth's ice sheets, at all spatio-temporal scales, the science advancements and open questions in the interpretation of these GRACE results, current uncertainties as well fusion/cross-validation of GRACE data with other sensors and models.
Session Convener: Isabella Velicogna

B.3 Oceanography
Papers are solicited on the advances in oceanographic applications of GRACE data products, including signal interpretation and model assimilation. Other topics include, but are not limited to, the validation of data products, the studies of regional or global oceanographic processes, exploitation of GRACE data products jointly with data from other missions (such as GOCE), or other in situ oceanographic measurement systems (e.g. ARGO), etc.
Session Convener: Victor Zlotnicki & Jens Schröter

B.4 Hydrology
Papers are solicited on advances in hydrological applications of GRACE data products, including signal interpretation and model assimilation. Papers on the assessment of hydrological trends and long-term water storage variations are solicited, as are paper reporting on GRACE data products that are optimized for terrestrial hydrology.
Session Convener: Matt Rodell & Andreas Güntner
