      abstract = {"Significant advances in the scientific use of space based  data were achieved in three joint interdisciplinary  projects based on data of the satellite missions CHAMP,  GRACE and GOCE within the R & D program GEOTECHNOLOGIEN. It  was possible to explore and monitor changes related to the  Earths surface, the boundary layer between atmosphere and  solid earth, and the oceans and ice shields. This boundary  layer is our habitat and therefore is in the focus of our  interests. The Earths surface is subject to anthropogenetic  changes, to changes driven by the Sun, Moon and planets,  and by changes caused by processes in the Earth system. The  state parameters and their changes are best monitored from  space. The theme Observation of the System Earth from Space  offers comprehensive insights into a broad range of  research topics relevant to society including geodesy,  oceanography, atmospheric science (from meteorology to  climatology), hydrology and glaciology"--Page 4 of cover.},
