This Science Meeting is intended to consolidate results of the ESA STSE 3D Earth and recommendations from the ESA mini-workshop on perspectives for Deep Earth research from 2018 in order to define user interest for a Deep Earth project within the ESA realm.
Matthew has been at Leeds since 2014 and was initially a PhD candidate, before completing his studies and becoming a postdoc in 2019. Since July 2020, he has been a European Space Agency Living Planet Fellow, and is part funded by the Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) and …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Matthew Gaddes. The Earth’s subaerial volcanoes pose a variety of threats to humanity, yet the vast majority remain unmonitored. However, with the advent of the latest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, interferometric SAR (InSAR) has evolved into a tool that can be used to monitor the majority …
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 petrological data, which comes from the study of rocks brought to the surface and from laboratories where the extreme pressures and temperatures of Earth’s interior …
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 …
Wolfgang completed an Undergraduate degree in Physics of the Earth at Kiel University, Germany in 2012, followed by a Masters Degree in Geophysics in 2014. In 2018, he completed his PhD Thesis with the title ‘Lithospheric structure from forward and inverse modeling of satellite gravity and magnetic data’. Since 2018 he has a post-doc position …
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 measurements, like GOCE, are directly sensitive to large-scale density variations inside the Earth, but their potential is not yet fully used. Instead, density is typically …
The goal of the 4D-Earth-Swarm project, supported by ESA, is to improve our understanding of the rapid (interannual) changes in the geomagnetic field, as recorded by the three satellites of the Swarm mission of ESA – as well as earlier satellite missions such as CHAMP and Oersted, and ground-based observatories. The project is planned for …
SAFE, SwArm For Earthquake study, is a project coordinated by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), to investigate, by means of data collected from satellites and from ground-based instruments, the phase preceding the great earthquakes with the aim to identify any electromagnetic signal from space. …
The main objective of COSTO (Contribution of Swarm data to the prompt detection of Tsunamis and other natural hazards) project is to better characterize, understand and discover coupling processes and interactions between the ionosphere/magnetosphere, the lower atmosphere and the Earth’s surface and sea level vertical displacements. Natural Hazards induced by tsunamis, earthquakes and volcano eruptions …
