This volume in the Space Sciences Series of ISSI is dedicated to
the detennination of the Earth's gravity field, which was the topic
of a workshop organized by ISSI from 11 to 15 March 2002 in Bern.
The aim of the meeting was to gather active researchers from
various fields (satellite geodesy, gravity field modelling, solid
Earth physics, oceanography, etc.) to assess the exciting new
developments that are made possible by space missions currently in
orbit or about to be launched. Following some general enquiries
with the scientific community concerning the desirability of
organising a workshop on the proposed topic, a group of four con-
venors (Gerhard Beutler, Univ. of Bern; Mark Drinkwater, ESA-ESTEC,
Noord- wijk; Reiner Rummel, Techn. Univ. Miinchen; Rudolf von
Steiger, ISS I, Bern) for- mulated the aims and goals of the
workshop, structured the workshop into six sec- tions, nominated a
list of session chairs (Georges Balmino, GRGS-CNES, Toulouse;
Roberto Sabadini, Univ. of Milano, Christian Le Provost, Obs.
Midi-Pyrenees, Toulouse; Philip Woodworth, Bidston Observatory,
Birkenhead; Miguel Aguirre, ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk), who in turn set
up a programme of introductory talks. The workshop was organized
such as to have only plenary sessions with typically half-hour
presentations and ample time for discussions. The last day was
devoted to conclusions and future objectives.
