A new blogpost on the reentry of the NAyif-1 satellite observed by the DopTrack ground station @AETUDelft. #tudelft #space #satellites deepearthscience.blogspot.co…

We have installed a new antenna for the DopTrack ground station ontop of @AETUDelft #tudelft. Some of our colleagues wanted to track a cube-sat with solar-sailing capabilities.

Excited that my course is now integrated in the Planetary Exploration Profile of the Master track @AETUDelft! #tudelft I hope more students like to learn about planetary interiors! Looking forward to next year.

Four years ago I was asked to present my inspiration in my teaching. Of course @VeningMeinesz is one of my greatest source of inspiration. We made a little movie (10 min) at #tudelft. Hope you like it @AETUDelft #gravity #teaching #sharingiscaring youtube.com/watch?v=SVTJA3KA…

Using data from @NASAMars' InSight lander, scientists have made the most precise measurements ever of the Red Planet’s rotation. go.nasa.gov/3DIsWGa How? Giant radio antennas on Earth! 🌏📡🔴 Specifically, @NASASCaN's Deep Space Network.

One consequence of this squishy interior is what we call post-glacial rebound. This process is still occurring today in places such as Canada, Scandinavia, and Greenland. Data from @esa's GOCE mission has shown Antarctica is rising faster than anywhere else in the world!

#DYK Earth has a squishy interior? Not like mochi 🍡 Due to high temperatures and pressures, Earth’s interior has a semi-solid or squishy consistency. This allows the mantle to flow and move over geological timescales - causing plate tectonics, volcanic activity and earthquakes.

Very proud of our #tudelft PhD candidate Jesse Reusen for publishing his second paper! He showed that compressibility really plays a significant role in horizontal GIA motion of the lithosphere and that we need to model it in a correct way. #4DEarth #sharingiscaring
