Modelling inner Earth in 3D
We are realising the new global model of Earth’s lithosphere and upper mantle by combining gravity anomalies, geoid height and gravity gradients complemented with seismic, thermal and rock information

SMOS and extreme events
Experiments show that SMOS can help improve errors in extreme events forecast lead times by 36–72 hours in the extratropics.
Antarctic lithosphere and Moho depths study
Ice sheet dynamics is strongly related to basal melting and geothermal heat flow, which in turn is influenced by crustal thickness variations. On the other hand, the lithosphere of the Antarctic continent is still poorly known. Different datasets (airborne gravity and magnetic measurements, seismological campaigns) exist but mostly suffer from limited spatial coverage over large …

MiCo – Milano Congressi,
Piazzale Carlo Magno, 1
Milan, 20149 Italy
Milan, 20149 Italy
The Living Planet Symposium, regularly held every three years, is amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world. The 2019 edition focuses on how Earth Observation contributes to science and society, and how disruptive technologies and actors are changing the traditional Earth Observation landscape, which is also creating new opportunities for public and private sector …
Audrey Hasson
After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Audrey was the EU coordinator for the GEO Blue Planet Initiative, hosted by Mercator Ocean International as part of the EU4OceanObs FPI Action funded by the European Union.
SMOWS: Satellite Mode Waters Salinity, in synergy with Temperature and Sea Level
Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Audrey Hasson. Mode waters (MWs) transport a large volume of heat, carbon and other properties across basins at seasonal to longer time-scales and thus play a major role in the modulation of the Earth climate. In the context of anthropogenic global warming, unlocking the understanding of the MWs transport …
