Gravity across Earth is pretty reliable. Drop a ball on the ground in England, fly to Australia, and drop the ball again, and you will find they fall to the ground at pretty much the same rate. But we ...

Gravity varies over the Earth’s surface, and it is weakest underneath Antarctica Modeling of rock movements over millions of years reveals that this “gravity hole” has gotten stronger over time Future ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

A "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica is offering scientists a rare glimpse into Earth's deep interior, a dynamic record of slow-moving processes that have been reshaping our planet for tens of millions ...

The Earth is a dynamic system constantly undergoing change. As the processes of change affect the Earth's topography—the heights of land, ice, and ocean surfaces—they also modify the distribution of ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

In the chapters following this one we address specific fields of research that we believe will particularly benefit from a satellite gravity mission. In this chapter, we mention some of the ways in ...
