Potential Fields for Solid Earth and Exploration Geophysics

Dear Colleagues,

The interpretation and inversion of potential field observations, i.e., gravity and magnetic data, have become important disciplines to study our planet for a wide range of geoscientific topics and applications.

The availability of high-resolution global datasets obtained from the integration of dedicated satellite missions (e.g., GOCE and SWARM) and large-scale airborne campaigns has fostered research related to Solid Earth studies aiming at imaging the Earth structure and geodynamic processes, the geodynamo and core dynamics from global to regional scales. Moreover, the recent need for rare elements and raw materials, required to satisfy the European Green deal, is leading toward the development of new advanced technologies for the inversion and interpretation of potential fields also at local scales with very high spatial resolution.

This Topic solicits contributions that focus on all aspects of global, regional, and local gravity and magnetic field interpretation and inversion, from theoretical and methodological issues to modeling results, applications, and case studies.
