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 used to make inferences about the interior of the Earth. Obtaining consistent models requires combining simultaneously different observable datasets into joint inversions. Among geophysical data, …
ASSESSING CRYOSPHERE-BIOSPHERE LINKAGES WITH EARTH OBSERVATIONS IN NORTHERN HIGH LATITUDES (CRYOBIOLINKS)
Prime company: FINNISH ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTE (SYKE) (FI)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Kristin Bottcher. Climate warming in the northern high latitudes is twice as strong as the global average. Increasing surface temperatures drive significant changes in the cryosphere, reducing the snow mass and extent, seasonal frost and permafrost. Changes in the cryosphere are interconnected with changes in the biosphere, e.g. carbon …
