1. Geodynamics Group at ANU Australia
Mariah Krimchansky, 2016
Summer Experience Through the International Internship Program

2. Each have an accelerometer to sense non- gravitational forces
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE): twin satellites that detect changes in ocean mass
Each have an accelerometer to sense non- gravitational forces

3. My Project Satellite has six pairs of thrusters
Accelerometer data is processed through a butterworth and CRN (Charge Routing Network) filter, changing shape of thrusters
Belief that original satellite thrust will provide more accurate results

4. Original compared to removed thrusts of model
Modelling Thrusts
Original compared to removed thrusts of model

5. Rewards and Implications Experience
Experience with Fortran, scripting, and GMT (Generic Mapping Tools)
First Exposure to Research
Great Mentor relationship
Preliminary Results show an improvement in GRACE model

6. Cultural Experience The culture wasn’t that different at all!
Beautiful scenery and animals

7. Personal Gain: Love of Travel!

8. More Personal Gain Do NOT want to go into research
Enjoyed learning about the satellites
Overall, just as undecided!

9. Thank You… My Mentor, Paul Tregoning International Internship Program
