The Solid Earth: past, present and future
October 22 - October 24
Delft University of Technology
The 4D Dynamic Earth project invites university students and early career scientists (BSc, MSc, PhD, ≤2 years professional experience) to a three‑day hands‑on workshop on Solid‑Earth research using satellite data. Supported by ESA and TU Delft, the event includes expert talks, interactive sessions, posters, and networking opportunities.
Topics
Explore a range of disciplines and data types, including:
- Gravity data & inversions (density, viscosity)
- Electromagnetic data & inversions (depth sensitivity, conductivity)
- Seismic datasets: velocities, anisotropy, density
- GPS & InSAR mapping of deformation
- Petrology
- Dynamic topography & lithospheric elastic response
- Geohazard applications.
Who should attend and why
Ideal for researchers working at the intersection of geoscience, remote sensing, satellite data analysis, and solid‑Earth processes. This is a prime opportunity to network, contribute to global science, and connect with mission teams.
Attend to:
- Learn cutting‑edge methods in satellite‑based geophysics
- Present your work to a community of experts
- Join interactive sessions
- Gain feedback, foster collaborations, and shape your future in ESA missions.
Are you a university student or an early career scientist?
Present and you can get a sponsorship.
Students and early‑career researchers are invited to showcase their work with a poster (300‑word abstract required in registration).
Thanks to the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship up to three grants of €750 are available (€350 travel + €400 accommodation).
To be eligible, presenters must:
- Be ≥18 years old
- Be enrolled (BSc, MSc, PhD) at a university in an ESA Member/Associate State or Canada
- Submit a strong abstract tied to satellite-based solid‑Earth research
- Not hold overlapping funding
- Meet ESA’s Privacy Policy.
Selection is based on abstract quality, relevance to the 4D Dynamic Earth mission, and satellite data usage. Recipients will be notified by end of July 2025.
Register here by 15 July!
