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 …
SWARM+ 4D DEEP EARTH: CORE project
Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)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 …
SWARM+ INNOVATION – SwArm For Earthquake study (SAFE)
Prime company: ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI GEOFISICA E VULCANOLOGIA (IT)SAFE, SwArm For Earthquake study, is a project coordinated by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), to investigate, by means of data collected from satellites and from ground-based instruments, the phase preceding the great earthquakes with the aim to identify any electromagnetic signal from space. …
Contribution of Swarm data to the prompt detection of Tsunamis and other natural hazards (COSTO)
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF WARMIA AND MAZURY IN (PL)The main objective of COSTO (Contribution of Swarm data to the prompt detection of Tsunamis and other natural hazards) project is to better characterize, understand and discover coupling processes and interactions between the ionosphere/magnetosphere, the lower atmosphere and the Earth’s surface and sea level vertical displacements. Natural Hazards induced by tsunamis, earthquakes and volcano eruptions …
Modelling inner Earth in 3D
We are realising the new global model of Earth’s lithosphere and upper mantle by combining gravity anomalies, geoid height and gravity gradients complemented with seismic, thermal and rock information
Antarctic lithosphere and Moho depths study
Ice sheet dynamics is strongly related to basal melting and geothermal heat flow, which in turn is influenced by crustal thickness variations. On the other hand, the lithosphere of the Antarctic continent is still poorly known. Different datasets (airborne gravity and magnetic measurements, seismological campaigns) exist but mostly suffer from limited spatial coverage over large …
3D Earth Science Meeting 2019
March 12, 2019 - March 14, 2019
Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS),
10 Burlington Road
Dublin 4, D04 C932 Ireland
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 …
