Project description
An algorithm to boost knowledge of the Earth’s core
What is inside the Earth? Our knowledge of the internal structure of our planet has increased significantly, but so much remains unknown. Currently the main methods of observing the Earth’s liquid core are indirect satellite and ground continuing observations. These methods, however, are mostly focused on and restricted to time dependent observations of the magnetic field, gravity field variations and Earth rotation changes. Moreover, they are usually incomplete as they address global integrated quantities. The EU-funded GRACEFUL project will reverse this lack of information. It plans to do this by developing cutting-edge methods to process these observational data together and employ up-to-date numerical models of the core flow that will help to acquire novel information on the Earth’s core.
