"Advanced Technologies in Earth Sciences" is based on the German Geoscientific Research and Development Programme "GEOTECHNOLOGIEN" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Research Foundation (DFG). This programme comprises a nationwide network of transdisciplinary research projects and incorporates numerous universities, non-university research facilities and companies. The books in this series deal with the research results from 13 innovative geoscientific research areas, interlinking a broad spectrum of disciplines with a view to documenting System Earth as a whole, including its various sub-systems and cycles. The research topics are predefined to meet scientific, socio-political and economic demands for the juvenile millennium.

The Earth's gravity and magnetic fields play an important role in global and regional geodynamics. Research satellites such as CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE use new measurement techniques to recover gravity and magnetic fields with unprecedented accuracy and resolution in space and time. Combined with terrestrial observations and numerical models, these data will significantly improve a detailed understanding of the Earth as a system.

In Germany, many of the processing, modelling and interpreting methodologies for these observation techniques have been developed under the umbrella of the R&D programme GEOTECHNOLOGIEN. The research projects focus on a better understanding of the spatial and temporal variations in the magnetic and gravity field and their relationships to the dynamics of the Earth's interior and global change processes close to its surface. This volume presents the results of all studies covered by this programme for the period 2005-2008 including the topics:

-Static and time variable gravity field models from CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE

-Applications of Grace, altimetry, GPS and other data for geophysical analyses

-Contributions to the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS)

-Atmospheric sounding by GPS radio occultation technique with Champ and Grace

-Observation of the Earth's magnetic field with Champ

Thus, it offers an up-to-date overview of recent result from satellite-based Earth observation with geodetic-geophysical techniques.
