With a full project team finally in place from late 2019, making progress on the key research aims and objectives was the main focus of our work during 2020 – something that was made somewhat more complicated by the coronavirus … Continue reading
As we approach the end of 2019, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the progress we have made over the last year:
(1) Using satellite-based observations to study the sea level budget at different spatial scales
(2) Investigating … Continue reading
Earlier this month we organised a full-day workshop in Bristol to mark the fact the the GlobalMass project has recently passed its halfway mark.
We were indebted to six external researchers, with expertise spanning the diverse disciplines covered by GlobalMass, … Continue reading
It’s been over six months since our last update, during which time we have been steadily making progress in several aspects of the project:
(1) Steric sea level change
We have previously reported that an estimation of a steric sea … Continue reading
The last few months have seen us make progress in two main areas:
(1) Steric sea level change
We have continued to work on what is the first real test of the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) framework on a global … Continue reading
Progress over the last few months has focussed on three main areas:
(1) Steric sea level change
In what is the first real test of the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) framework on a global scale, we have been using … Continue reading
It’s been a couple of months since the last project update. In that time, we have been making progress in four main areas:
(1) Developing the statistical framework
The main purpose of our early experiments was to test and improve … Continue reading
We have been working on some diverse aspects of the project over the summer.
(1) Understanding optimum mesh size
Our early experiments suggested that the mesh size used for the global grid can introduce artefacts or errors into the results, … Continue reading
While our efforts have continued to be focused on building and testing our statistical framework, we are also now starting to obtain some ‘real’ results.
As reported last month, it is crucial that our Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) – … Continue reading
We have spent the last couple of months focusing on building and testing the ‘Bayesian Hierarchical Model’ – the statistical framework that is fundamental to the GlobalMass project. It is vital that we are satisfied that the framework is working … Continue reading
