Deep below Antarctica with GOCE

 

A paper, published recently in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, describes how scientists used gravity data from the GOCE satellite mission along with seismological models to reveal unprecedented insight into the crust and upper mantle, otherwise known as the lithosphere, below this frozen continent.

Read the full story and find out about the ESA funded GOCE+ Antarctica and 3D-Earth projects whose research contributed to such results.
