3D Earth Science Meeting 2019

March 12 - March 14
Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), 10 Burlington Road
Dublin 4, D04 C932 Ireland

The scope of the 3D Earth Science meeting is to discuss the use of satellite data in studying the structure and processes in the lithosphere and the interaction with the deep mantle and surface processes. Keynote lectures will present results from the 3D Earth project and beyond. The science meeting intends to collect feedback on …

GOCE gravity gradients for time-variable applications (GOCE4TV-APPs)

Prime company: TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH (DE)

The gravity gradients of the highly successful ESA Earth Explorer mission GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer), which have been reprocessed by applying enhanced calibration strategies in the frame of the ESA project GOCE High-level Processing Facility (HPF), have reached a very high quality level, especially in the long-wavelength spectral range where the …

GOCE gravity gradients reveal relics of ancient continents under Antarctica

The combination of seismological and satellite gravity gradient imaging enhance our knowledge of Earth’s structure, especially in remote areas like the Antarctic continent, where even basic knowledge of lithospheric scale features is incomplete. A research team from Kiel University and the British Antarctic Survey exploited the satellite gravity gradients measured from 2009 to 2013 by …

Earth’s squishy interior gives rapid rise to Antarctica

Parts of Earth’s crust are rising very slowly owing to post-glacial rebound, but using GPS, researchers have found that West Antarctica is rising faster than almost anywhere else in the world. And, ESA’s GOCE gravity mission has, in turn, helped them to understand that the mantle below is unusually fluid. Read the full story.

3D-Earth

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF KIEL (DE)

The goal of this project is establish a global 3D reference model model of the crust and upper mantle based on the analysis of satellite gravity and (electro-)magnetic missions in combination with seismological models and analyse the feedback between processes in Earth’s deep mantle and the lithosphere. Selected case examples will provide the possibility to …
