The Solid Earth: past, present and future

October 22 - October 24
Delft University of Technology, Mekelweg 5
Delft, Netherlands

The 4D Dynamic Earth project invites university students and early career scientists (BSc, MSc, PhD, ≤2 years professional experience) to a three‑day hands‑on workshop on Solid‑Earth research using satellite data. Supported by ESA and TU Delft, the event includes expert talks, interactive sessions, posters, and networking opportunities.   Topics Explore a range of disciplines and data types, …

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 ESA’s GOCE satellite, seismic and other terrestrial datasets, and thermodynamic inversion methods, researchers have found that ancient upwellings from the Iceland Plume funneled into these …

Edna Dualeh

Edna is currently an ESA Living Planet Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK. She completed a PhD in volcano remote sensing at the University of Leeds, UK in 2022 where her research focused on using high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to examine volcanic deposits. During her PhD she worked closely with the Centre …

Prime company: DLR – GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER (DE)

The day-to day variability of quiet-time ionosphere is surprisingly high even during periods of negligible solar forcing. Relatively well understood is the high-latitude variability where the solar wind is directly driving the high latitude currents, convection electric field or polar aurorae. But the current understanding does not allow to accurately model the ionospheric state during …

A new type of magnetic wave unveiled by Swarm

Combining satellite measurements from Swarm, as well as from the earlier German Champ mission and Danish Ørsted mission, with a computer model of the geodynamo, a new type of magnetic wave, with a 7 year period, and a westward drift at phase speed of 1500km/year, has been mapped at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary. Such Magneto-Coriolis …

Deep down temperature shifts give rise to eruptions

Research carried out within the 3D Earth project, where an international group of geoscientists joined forces to develop a state-of-the art global model of the lithosphere, gives us a better understanding of the natural processes that are occurring deep below our feet. This might bring the possibility of predicting eruptions – such as the astonishing …

Ground Deformation from Meteorological, Seismic and Anthropogenic Changes Analysed by Remote Sensing, Geomatic Experiments and Extended Reality – GERMANE

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LIEGE (BE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Romy Schlögel and Karolina Owczarz. Within this project we intend to analyse ground deformation hazards induced by meteorological changes and seismotectonic conditions in eastern Belgium, western Germany and the south-eastern Netherlands. Thus, its outcomes should also be of interest for the ongoing Interreg project Einstein Telescope EMR Site & …
