In 2013, Jianli Chen and colleagues at the University of Texas, Austin showed that an eastward drift of the poles that began in 2005 is linked to melting glaciers and the associated sea-level rise. This allowed GRACE to determine the shape of the Earth and monitor changes in sea level, glaciers and groundwater.
