After just two years in orbit, ESA’s GOCE satellite has gathered enough data to map Earth’s gravity with unrivalled precision. Scientists now have access to the most accurate model of the ‘geoid’ ever ...

In a paper published in Earth and Planetary Physics, a scientific team presents a good correlation between temporal ...

The first global gravity model based on GOCE satellite data has been presented at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium. ESA launched GOCE in March 2009 to map Earth’s gravity with unprecedented accuracy and ...

Abstract: Though the title is innocuous sounding, its subject offers a unique experience in connecting spaceflight technology with discovery in the Earth system sciences. The satellite is the ...

Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites. Ghobadi-Far has earned an $800,000 grant from NASA to analyze data from the GRACE-FO satellites, which measure ...
