The Solid Earth: past, present and future

4D Dynamic Earth science workshop

🌍 We’re thrilled to invite you to our exciting three-day science workshop as part of the 4D Dynamic Earth project! This hands-on event will bring together top experts from various geoscience fields, who will share the latest discoveries from this ESA-funded initiative.

We warmly welcome early career scientists from around the world to join us and showcase their own research during dedicated poster sessions. This is a fantastic chance to connect and exchange ideas with researchers interested in Solid Earth applications of satellite missions. Plus, stay tuned—details on financial support will be available soon!

A broad range of topics are welcome, including -but not limited to:

  • Gravity data and inversions (density, viscosity).
  • Electromagnetic data and inversions (depth sensitivity, conductivity).
  • Seismic datasets and associated inversions (velocity anomalies, anisotropy, temperature, density).
  • Deformation from space and associated inversions- GPS and InSAR (viscosity, temperature, composition).
  • Petrology.
  • Dynamic topography and elastic response of the lithosphere.
  • Geohazard applications.

Let’s explore the dynamic Earth together! 🛰️🌎🚀

📅 When: 22nd to 24th October.

🗺️ Where: TUDelft (The Netherlands).
