This study examined the relationships between topographic structure and submarine geomorphology, sediment thickness, geophysical anomaly fields, geological settings tectonic lineament stretching of Arabian Sea region, Carlsberg Ridge morphology, Makran Trench depths by GMT. The included spatial analysis high-resolution datasets (GEBCO, EGM96, GlobSed) geomorphological modeling 300km-width cross...

The volcanic Kerguelen Islands are formed on one of the world’s largest submarine plateaus. Located in remote segment southern Indian Ocean close to Antarctica, Plateau is notable for a complex tectonic origin and geologic formation related Cretaceous history continents. This reflected varying age oceanic crust adjacent plateau highly heterogeneous bathymetry Plateau, with seafloor structure di...

In this study, the vertical accuracy of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model Version 2.0 (SRTM30), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global DEM (ASTER GDEM2), Land Observing Satellite World 3D Surface 2.1 (ALOS AW3D30) was statistically assessed using GPS data. The Fergana Valley area chosen as a study region, where land surface can reflect tecto...

In this paper we analyze quantitatively the concept of LAGEOS–type satellites in critical supplementary orbit configuration (CSOC) which has proven capable of yielding various observables for many tests of General Relativity in the terrestrial gravitational field, with particular emphasis on the measurement of the Lense–Thirring effect. By using an entirely new pair of LAGEOS–type satellites in...

This paper presents the GRASS GIS-based thematic mapping of Antarctica using scripting approach and associated datasets on topography geophysics. The state-of-the art in cartographic development points at two important aspects. first one comprises shell promoted repeatability GIS technique, increased automatization workflow, compatibility with Python, PROJ GDAL libraries which enables advanced ...

We perform inversions of gravity data (geopotential model EGM96) and seismic tomography model (S16RLBM) for the scaling factor (ζ ), which relates relative density anomalies to relative S-wave velocity anomalies. The gravity data and tomographic model are anti-correlated below continents down to a depth of z = 200 km. This anti-correlation is not present below oceans. Except for smoothness, whi...

According to very recent developments of the LARES mission, which would be devoted to the measurement of the general relativistic Lense–Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with Satellite Laser Ranging, it seems that the LARES satellite might be finally launched in a polar, low– altitude orbit by means of a relatively low–cost rocket. The observable would be the node only. Th...
