Bart Root

Bart Root is an assistant professor at the TU Delft at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering working on satellite gravimetry. Along-side his PhD research at the TU Delft, he has been working on the Vening Meinesz project as scientific advisor. During his Postdoctoral Research fellowship at Dublin institute for Advanced Sciences, he looked at the gravitational signal of mantle convection and its effect on lithosphere structures. Now back at the TU Delft, his research is focussed on planetary gravity field modelling, lithosphere structure, mantle convection, glacial isostatic adjustment, and satellite tracking.

Geotandem: Exploring the subsurface of Mars using geodetic data

Welcome to the first of its kind, the Geotandem 01! A collaborative series between EGU divisions. Interdisciplinarity is intrinsic to Geosciences, so we want to showcase how researchers approach the same topics from different but also complementing perspectives. In each edition, we will bring you a high-interest topic for the community seen from the eyes of diverse disciplines. Today, the Tectonic ...[Read More]

Around the world with Professor Vening Meinesz onboard the submarine K-XVIII: Exploration of the Solid Earth

  On 14th of November 1934, the Dutch travelled to the harbor of Den Helder situated in the north of the Netherlands to catch a glimpse of the departure of Hr. Ms. K-XVII: A submarine of the Royal Dutch Navy setting sail on a trip around the world. Onboard was a unique traveler and with his non-typical height of 2 meters tall, he towered above the average submarine sailor. Professor Vening Me ...[Read More]
