For the first time, an international team of scientists has used magnetic data from ESA’s Swarm satellite mission together with aeromagnetic data to help reveal the mysteries of the geology hidden beneath Antarctica’s kilometres-thick ice sheets, and link Antarctica better to its former neighbours. Read the full story This research has been carried out within …
Using a 25-year record of satellite observations over the Getz region in West Antarctica, scientists have discovered that the pace at which glaciers flow towards the ocean is accelerating. This new research, which includes data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission and ESA’s CryoSat mission, will help determine if these glaciers could collapse in the next …
Two research fellowship opportunities are currently open for applicants who have recently completed, or are close to completing a PhD in a related technical or scientific discipline: Earth System Science Ocean Science Deadline for application is 12 March 2021.
A new product from “altimetry-gravimetry”, developed within the MOHeaCAN project, is now available for download. It contains monthly time series (between August 2002 and June 2017) of several variables, the main ones being the regional Ocean Heat Content (OHC) (3°x3° spatial resolution grids), the global OHC and the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) indicator. Uncertainties are …
The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted sea areas in the world and prone to eutrophication due to its physical characteristics and nutrient, mineral particle and humic substance loading from the surrounding land. Improved understanding of carbon fluxes between land and sea is essential to ultimately plan and implement protection measures. Some of …
A research team – the first to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data – has discovered that the rate at which ice is disappearing across the planet is speeding up. The findings also reveal that 28 trillion tonnes of ice was lost between 1994 and 2017 – equivalent to a …
Using information from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have made a discovery about how energy generated by electrically-charged particles in the solar wind flows into Earth’s atmosphere – surprisingly, more of it heads towards the magnetic north pole than towards the magnetic south pole. Read the full story. This research was supported by the ESA …
The foundation of the S6-JTEX study is the detection, characterisation, mitigation and exploitation of differences, discrepancies and measurement features captured in the Level 1 and Level 2 products available from Sentinel6-Michael Freilich (S6-MF), Jason-3 and other satellite, in situ and model data. The S6-JTEX project is designed to perform a first end-to-end (E2E) analysis and …
Hidden from view by ice kilometres thick, there is a vast network of lakes and streams at the base of the Antarctic ice sheet. This subsurface meltwater affects the speed with which the ice sheet flows towards the ocean. Using a decade of altimetry data from ESA’s CryoSat satellite, scientists have made an unexpected discovery …
