Space geodesy constrains ice age terminal deglaciation: The global ICE‐6G_C (VM5a) model

W. R. Peltier, Donald F. Argus, R. Drummond · 25 Nov 2014

Abstract A new model of the last deglaciation event of the Late Quaternary ice age is here described and denoted as ICE‐6G_C (VM5a). It differs from previously published models in this sequence in that it has been explicitly refined by applying all of the available Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of vertical motion of the…

ITRF2014: A new release of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame modeling nonlinear station motions

Z. Altamimi, Paul Rebischung, Laurent Métivier et al. · 18 Jul 2016

Abstract For the first time in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) history, the ITRF2014 is generated with an enhanced modeling of nonlinear station motions, including seasonal (annual and semiannual) signals of station positions and postseismic deformation for sites that were subject to major earthquakes. Using the full observation history of the four space geodetic…

High‐resolution CSR GRACE RL05 mascons

Himanshu Save, Srinivas Bettadpur, B. D. Tapley · 23 Sep 2016

Abstract The determination of the gravity model for the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) is susceptible to modeling errors, measurement noise, and observability issues. The ill‐posed GRACE estimation problem causes the unconstrained GRACE RL05 solutions to have north‐south stripes. We discuss the development of global equal area mascon solutions to improve the GRACE gravity…

Improved methods for observing Earth's time variable mass distribution with GRACE using spherical cap mascons

M. M. Watkins, D. N. Wiese, Dah‐Ning Yuan et al. · 26 Feb 2015

Abstract We discuss several classes of improvements to gravity solutions from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission. These include both improvements in background geophysical models and orbital parameterization leading to the unconstrained spherical harmonic solution JPL RL05, and an alternate JPL RL05M mass concentration (mascon) solution benefitting from those same improvements but derived…

Present‐Day Crustal Deformation of Continental China Derived From GPS and Its Tectonic Implications

Min Wang, Zheng‐Kang Shen · 8 Jan 2020

Abstract We process rigorously GPS data observed during the past 25 years from continental China to derive site secular velocities. Analysis of the velocity solution leads to the following results. (a) The deformation field inside the Tibetan plateau and Tien Shan is predominantly continuous, and large deformation gradients only exist perpendicular to the Indo‐Eurasian relative…

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AGU (American Geophysical Union) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth use?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth uses Author–year (APA) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., & Lee, C. (2023). A representative article title. Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth?
No. DocuGuru generates the agujournal2025 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AGU (American Geophysical Union)-ready Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth?
AGU journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by AGU (American Geophysical Union).
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth PDF?
