Magmatic connectivity among six Galápagos volcanoes revealed by satellite geodesy. [PDF]
Shallow magmatic reservoirs that produce measurable volcanic surface deformation are often considered as discrete independent systems. However, petrological analyses of erupted products suggest that these may be the shallowest expression of extensive ...

Enhancing the precision limits of interferometric satellite geodesy missions [PDF]
Satellite geodesy uses the measurement of the motion of one or more satellites to infer precise information about the Earth’s gravitational field. In this work, we consider the achievable precision limits on such measurements by examining approximate ...

Tracking the Cracking: a Holistic Analysis of Rapid Ice Shelf Fracture Using Seismology, Geodesy, and Satellite Imagery on the Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf, West Antarctica [PDF]
Ice shelves regulate the stability of marine ice sheets. We track fractures on Pine Island Glacier, a quickly accelerating glacier in West Antarctica that contributes more to sea level rise than any other glacier. Using an on‐ice seismic network deployed

A simplified gravitational reference sensor for satellite geodesy [PDF]
A simplified gravitational reference sensor (S-GRS) is an ultra-precise inertial sensor for future Earth geodesy missions. These sensors measure or compensate for all non-gravitational accelerations of the host spacecraft to remove them in the data ...

Two Distinct Magma Storage Regions at Ambrym Volcano Detected by Satellite Geodesy [PDF]
The flux of eruptible magma into a magmatic plumbing system influences eruption size and timing. If magma transfer is possible between two hydraulically‐connected magma lenses, system destabilization can tap a larger magma volume than stored in any one ...

Risk Evaluation of the Sanalona Earthfill Dam Located in Mexico Using Satellite Geodesy Monitoring and Numerical Modeling [PDF]
Dams are essential structures in the growth of a region due to their ability to store large amounts of water and manage it for different social activities, mainly for human consumption.
