North Atlantic’s volcanic secrets – it’s about being thin
Scientists have unveiled a new insight into the origins of the North Atlantic’s volcanic hotspot: it all comes down to the lithosphere being extra thin. By combining gravity data from …

DYNAMIC TOPOGRAPHY AND SATELLITE GRAVITY DATA JOINT INVERSION USING REDUCED ORDER MODELS (DYGIRO)
Prime company: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (ES)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Olga Ortega Gelabert. Geophysical observables (e.g. surface elevation, gravity anomalies, seismic data, surface heat flow, etc.) are one of the main sources of information …
Gravity mission still unearthing hidden secrets
New research published in Geophysical Journal International describes how scientists generated a new model of the lithosphere using the joint power of GOCE gravity data and seismological observations combined with …
Wolfgang Szwillus
“The Fellowship not only allowed me to pursue my research but also fostered the exchange with ESA’s other solid Earth observation projects that provided and additional and unique perspective.”
Discrete Bayesian Inversion of Satellite Gravity (DISG)
Prime company: CHRISTIAN-ALBRECHTS-UNIVERSITAET ZU (DE)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Wolfgang Szwillus. Density variations inside the mantle not only drive mantle convection but are also important indicators of rock composition variation. Satellite gravity …
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 …
BALTIC+ Geodetic SAR for Baltic Height System Unification (SAR-HSU)
Prime company: TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH (DE)Height systems and related sea level observations are based on a number of measurement systems, which all have their own characteristics and deliver different type of observations. Traditionally, sea level …
