👏 15 years already😵 @ESA_EO's #GOCE Earth Explorer mission was dedicated to mapping Earth's gravity and provided the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced, furthering our understanding of how our planet works. After more than four years in orbit, the mission ended…

It was five years ago this month that ESA’s GOCE gravity-mapping satellite finally gave way to gravity, but its results are still yielding buried treasure – giving a new view of the remnants of lost continents hidden deep under the ice sheet of Antarctica.
Parts of Earth’s crust are rising very slowly owing to post-glacial rebound, but using GPS, researchers have found that West Antarctica is rising faster than almost anywhere else in the world. And, ESA’s GOCE gravity mission has, in turn, helped them to understand that the mantle below i…
