For over seventy years, a mysterious gravitational depression beneath the Indian Ocean has baffled scientists. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it marks the deepest point in Earth’s gravity ...

There is a place on Earth where the laws of gravity as we know them do not apply. Officially known as “the Indian Ocean geoid low” (IOGL), it is informally referred to as the Indian Ocean gravity hole ...

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...

The ground may feel steady underfoot, but the planet is always in motion. While satellites and sensors have mapped the surface in fine detail, what lies beneath remains largely unknown. The crust, a ...

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 ...

Researchers think they’ve found the reason for the most significant drop in Earth’s gravity, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low. In this location in the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka, our planet’s ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Indian Ocean Geoid Low spans 1.2 million square miles where a deep gravity anomaly causes the sea surface to sink by as much ...
