Meeresspiegel steigt abrupt an

Satellitendaten zeigen einen schnelleren Anstieg des Meeresspiegels um 40 Prozent zwischen 2010 und 2012. TUM-Forschende haben einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer Studie der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation ESA geleistet, die den Wasserschwund an Land, die Erwärmung der Ozeane und den Anstieg des Meeresspiegels untersucht hat.

🚨 New header picture 🖼️

The GRACE Follow-On satellite mission uses technology developed for @LISA to observe critical indicators of climate change through changes in the Earth's gravitational field.

The mission uses a laser interferometer with nanometer accuracy between two satellites in Earth orbit. Researchers at @mpi_grav are not only involved this mission, but also in future similar missions due to their expertise in the design of laser interferometers.

Satellite gravimetry

Satellite gravimetry measures the Earth's gravitational field from low Earth orbit. GRACE Follow-On uses LISA technology to monitor critical indicators of climate change caused by changes in the Earth's gravitational field. The mission uses a laser interferometer with nanometre accuracy between two satellites. Because of their expertise, researchers at the AEI are involved in the design of the laser interferometers for future similar missions.
