A region beneath Antarctica where Earth’s gravitational pull is measurably weaker than anywhere else on the planet has persisted for roughly 70 million years, according to new research that traces the ...

According to a new study, researchers have identified a massive gravity hole-technically known as a Geoid Low-beneath the ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

Scientists have finally explained the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, a massive gravity anomaly south of India. New research reveals this 'gravity hole' formed over millions of years due to hot, less dense ...

This strange 'gravity hole' beneath Antarctica could help explain how its ice and oceans changed over millions of years.

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years.

A new study has reconstructed the evolution of the planet’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression —the Antarctic Geoid ...

Gravity field modeling and geoid determination are critical tasks in geodesy and Earth sciences, providing insights into the Earth’s mass distribution and its gravitational potential. Researchers ...

Have you ever thought to use a clock to identify mineral deposits or concealed water resources within the Earth? An international team headed by astrophysicists Philippe Jetzer and Ruxandra Bondarescu ...
