Title Gravity mission still unearthing hidden secrets Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet ESA Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1 pag. Country/Territory Netherlands Date 11/03/21 Description Despite ESA’s GOCE mission ending over seven years ago, scientists continue to use this remarkable satellite’s gravity data to delve deep and unearth secrets about our planet. Recent research shows how scientists have combined GOCE data with measurements taken at the surface to generate a new model of Earth’s crust and upper mantle. This is the first time such a model has been created this way – and it is shedding new light on processes of plate tectonics, which, in turn, are related to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions Producer/Author redactie URL www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/GOCE/Gravity_mission_still_unearthing_hidden_secrets Persons J.M.
