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. Please find here the meeting report for download.
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 …
The educational materials from the 9th Earth Observation Summer School 2018 (EOSS 2018) , held at ESA-ESRIN in Rome, Italy, from 30 July to 10 August 2018, are accessible via the links below: The replays of the livestreamed lectures are available here. Day 1 – Monday 30 July 2018: The Earth System; past and present …
Course dates, venue & format updated Updated 12/02/2021: In view of the recent developments related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the direction from the respective health authorities, please note the dates and format of the 3D Earth Spring School have been modified. The event will not take place from 22-26 March 2021 in ESRIN, but …
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 …
“The Fellowship not only allowed me to pursue my research but also fostered the exchange with ESA’s other solid Earth observation projects that provided and additional and unique perspective.”
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 …
