Project Locations

Gravimetric Tomography modelling of a deep structure for the following regions: West-East Antarctica, South Ocean within of 50°S, boundary mid-ocean ridges of the Antarctic Lithosphere Plate, Scotia Plate, meridional sections crossing the Arctic Ocean

Project Activities

Computing and development of the Earth structure tomographic models up to the depth of 5300 km with the EGM96 geoid model data.
Shipborne and boat echosounding in the West Antarctica for the IBCSO Project.

Principal Science Objectives

Mapping and creating of 3D cross-sections for the crust and mantle structure.

Research Highlights

New technology developed with improvement lateral and radial (crust) resolution in earth structure models.
