The Earth crust represents less than 1% of the volume of our planet but is exceptionally important as it preserves the signs of the geological events that shaped the Earth. This thin layer is the place where the natural resources we need can be accessed (e.g. minerals, critical raw materials, geothermal energy, fresh water, hydrocarbons). …
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 …
Running from 2017 to December 2021, the Copernicus Research and User Support (RUS) service aimed to develop an online free-access platform to promote the uptake of Copernicus data and support the scaling up of educational and R&D activities. In particular, the service provided Copernicus data access, cloud computing resources, access to effective software tools and …
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 …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Romy Schlögel. 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 & Technology (E-TEST). Focus …
Romy is a geologist and senior researcher in Earth Observation for natural hazards analysis at the Centre Spatial de Liège, University of Liège. Her current research interests include remote sensing for monitoring natural hazards related to climate change. She was a contractor for the United Nations for Training and Research (UNITAR) supporting the UNOSAT in …
Olga is currently an ESA Living Planet Fellow at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain). She graduated in Physics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, Spain) in 2012 and completed a Master in Modelling for Science and Engineering in 2014. She also worked as a technician at the Research Group of Ionizing Radiations at UAB. …
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, gravity data from ESA’s GOCE satellite mission provides key …
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.
