Earth is often described as a circle or an oval, but it is neither. As the planet spins more than 1,000 miles per hour at the ...

If Everest ever lost its crown, the surprise would be cultural, not geological: millimeters, models, and memory would decide.

Abstract: Based on the formalism of General Relativity, we analyze generalizations of concepts used in conventional geodesy. One such concept is the Earth's geoid. We present our definition of the ...

Introduction: We quantify temporal variations of geoid heights (ΔN) across Kazakhstan during 2019–2024 using satellite gravimetry, and relate these changes to recent extreme hydrological and seismic ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), a significant gravitational anomaly, has puzzled scientists for decades. Research suggests it formed due to interactions between tectonic plates and mantle plumes ...

COOK 1 has shown that, in the Earth's gravitational potential when developed into a series of zonal spherical harmonics, the coefficients are influenced to the fourth harmonic by the inhomogeneities ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...

A massive gravity anomaly beneath the Indian Ocean, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, has baffled scientists for years. The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) is a significant geophysical anomaly that ...

Beneath the Indian Ocean lies a gravitational enigma — a vast depression where the ocean surface dips 106 meters lower than surrounding areas. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), this anomaly ...

It is found in the depths of Indian Ocean and named as the gravity hole or Indian Ocean geoid low, an anomaly on earth where gravity is said to be weaker, and levels of sea dip by more than 328 feet ...
