DYNAMIC TOPOGRAPHY AND SATELLITE GRAVITY DATA JOINT INVERSION USING REDUCED ORDER MODELS (DYGIRO)

Prime company: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (ES)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Olga Ortega Gelabert. 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, …

4D Deep Dynamic Earth Science Meeting 2021

September 28, 2021 - September 29, 2021

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 Gaddes

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 …

VMDL: Volcano Monitoring using Deep Learning

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ENVIRONMENT (GB)

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 …

Gravity mission still unearthing hidden secrets

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 …

Antarctica’s magnetic link to ancient neighbours

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 Szwillus

“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.”  

Discrete Bayesian Inversion of Satellite Gravity (DISG)

Prime company: CHRISTIAN-ALBRECHTS-UNIVERSITAET ZU (DE)

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 …
