DESCRIPTION:Abstract:With the advent of GRACE\, GRACE Follow-On\, and GRAIL
  in the last 20 years\, remote sensing via gravity has made incredible adv
 ances\, particularly for time variable gravity observations of key climate
  variables.  In this talk\, we will review\, both technically and scientif
 ically\, how we got here\, where we are today (including latest cutting ed
 ge results)\, and opportunities for significant improvement in the next de
 cade.   Bio:Michael Watkins is the Allen and Lenabelle Davis Leadership Ch
 air as Director of the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) and Profess
 or of Aerospace and Geophysics at Caltech. He was the Director of JPL from
  2016-2021 and Vice-President of Caltech. He was a co-inventor of the GRAC
 E mission\, and was the Project Scientist of GRACE\, GRAIL\, and GRACE Fol
 low-on. He is a member of the NAE and Fellow of the AIAA. He received his 
 Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas.
