    “I am responsible for the scientific integrity and overall scientific success of the mission. My job is to ensure that the mission operations and data processing meet the science goals and requirements. Our Science Data System team ensures that the data products are of the highest quality and accuracy, get delivered in a timely manner, and meet the needs of the large and growing user community. Time-variable gravity measurements have an amazing range of applications: they tell us about sea level and ocean current variations, groundwater depletion, glacier mass changes, and even the solid Earth’s changes from large earthquakes. As an oceanographer myself, it never ceases to amaze me that we can map month-to-month pressure differences as small as 10 millimeters at the bottom of the oceans from space. With GRACE-FO, we are continuing to unravel processes in Earth’s water and energy cycle, and provide crucial data for water resources management and other important applications."
