Abstract: The Himalaya and Alps mountain ranges, and Tibetan plateau are presently subject to uplift,

as documented by GNSS vertical movement rates. Uplift occurs in response to climatic mass loss

(deglaciation or hydrologic mass loss) or due to the dynamic forces (crustal compression or mantle

inflow below uplifting crust). The uplift generates a mass change, which produces a time variation of the

gravity field. The deglaciation and changes in the subsurface hydrologic budget, also generate a mass

change, which sums to the tectonic change. The shrinking outlines of glaciers are revealed by remote

sensing, but the total volume budget estimate requires also the thickness variation. Remote sensing

catches the surface height changes, but these must be corrected for the crustal uplift. The geodetic

measurements of the crustal dynamics of the Alpine range in terms of height and gravity changes, is

therefore in close relation to the estimate of the climatic changes inducing glacier and hydrologic budget

changes. We show that for the Alps and Himalayas the hydrologic gravity signal is superposed to the

tectonic signal, and discuss to which amount the signal can be resolved by gravity measurements

(Braitenberg and Shum, 2015; Chen et al., 2018). We consider the satellite observations of GRACE

and GOCE and propose what kind of error curve would be necessary for possible future gravity

satellites to significantly increase the resolution.
