I will give a lecture about #quantum sensing / #gravimetry at an international lecture week for PhD students next week, and realized that the slides I was kindly provided with (thanks, @quantumsensing) didn't mention any women in the (short) historical sections.
A quick google search revealed some #WomenInSTEM / #WomenInQuantum that I had not heard of before.
Quite a nice overview (with historic and contemporary physicists) can be found here: https://atominnen.at/empower/role-models 1/5

A lovely, vintage 1968 cover of Science Magazine to celebrate the international #ObserveTheMoon night, featuring a lunar gravimetric map of the earthside hemisphere, obtained by the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft tracking data.

And to put things into a longer term perspective here is the #GRACE + #GRACEFO satellite record showing the last 20 years of #gravimetry data.
@greenlandicesheet has lost #ice basically every single year..

This is also shown on the #PolarPortal
