Dr. Meng Yang is an Associate Professor at the School of Geospatial Engineering and Science, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China. She completed her PhD studies in Geodesy and Survey Engineering at the Technische Universität München in 2020. She recently led the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Youth Project—“Refinement of the Gravity Field at Princess Elisabeth Land, East Antarctic, by Fusing Multi-Source Data and Residual Terrain Modeling Techniques”. She is mainly engaged in firesearch on the gravity field and scientific applications, and her research interests include gravity field modeling theory and methods, deep learning and gravity field applications, seafloor terrain inversion and planetary mapping, etc.
Prof. Wei Feng is a Professor at the School of Geospatial Engineering and Science, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China. He completed his PhD studies in Solid-State Geophysics at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013 and Earth and Planetary Science at the Université Toulouse-III-Paul-Sabatier in 2015. He has chaired the NSFC-DFG International Cooperation and Exchange Program—“Collaborative Detection of Time-Varying Gravity Field and Mass Distribution Changes by GRACE-FO and Chinese Gravity Satellites”. In addition, he is currently a member of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) Expert Group for the Next Generation Satellite Gravity Program, and the Chairman of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Committee on Gravity Inversion and Earth System Mass Transfer. In recent years, he has mainly carried out research on space geodesy and global change, especially on the intersection of global and regional terrestrial water cycle and sea level change by combining multi-source satellite geodetic observations and hydrological and oceanographic observations and model data.
Prof. Min Zhong is a Professor at the School of Geospatial Engineering and Science, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China. He completed his PhD studies in Solid-State Geophysics at the Institute of Surveying and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990. He is an executive member of the “Gravity” Committee of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), and the deputy director of the Committee on Earth Observation of the Seismological Society of China. He has long been devoted to theoretical and applied research on satellite gravity, Earth rotation and climate change. Currently, his
research team is dedicated to (1) Tianqin-2 Gravity Satellite Ground System, Satellite Gravity Inversion and Climate Change Applications; (2) Polar Absolute Gravity Instrument Development; (3) InSAR Monitoring and Ocean Mapping.
