Description

Satellite Gravimetry and the Solid Earth: Mathematical Foundations presents the theories behind satellite gravimetry data and their connections to solid Earth. It covers the theory of satellite gravimetry and data analysis, presenting it in a way that is accessible across geophysical disciplines. Through a discussion of satellite measurements and the mathematical concepts behind them, the book shows how various satellite measurements, such as satellite orbit, acceleration, vector gravimetry, gravity gradiometry, and integral energy methods can contribute to an understanding of the gravity field and solid Earth geophysics. Bridging the gap between geodesy and geophysics, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and students studying gravity, gravimetry and a variety of geophysical and Earth Science fields.

Key Features

  • Presents mathematical concepts in a pedagogic and straightforward way to enhance understanding across disciplines
  • Explains how a variety of satellite data can be used for gravity field determination and other geophysical applications
  • Covers a number of problems related to gravimetry and the gravity field, as well as the effects of atmospheric and topographic factors on the data
  • Addresses the regularization method for solving integral equations, isostasy based on gravimetric and flexure methods, elastic thickness, and sub-lithospheric stress

    Perfect for the researchers in earth fields

    This book provides comprehensive information about theoretical and practical gravimetric sciences. I think this book has been written with a different approach which is ideal for geodesics, geophysicists, and geologists. As a geodesics, I am really impressed by the work the author has done with a high degree of detail.

  • Alireza A. Fri Sep 25 2020

    Interesting book

    I highly recommend this book for all students and professors in gradiometric subjects. I think applicational and mathematical issues have been considered in this book.

  • Guy F. Fri Sep 25 2020

    Interesting Book

    This book is good for the researcher who needs a mathematic foundation for remote sensing applied to geodesy

  • Majid A. Fri Sep 11 2020

    PhD in Geodesy

    I absolutely recommend this book and think that the book will be very usable for both geodesics and geophysicists.

  • Ali M. Thu Sep 10 2020

    I do recommend it.

    I know Dr. Mehdi Eshagh for several years. He is a knowable person who's seeking to teach students the best method of learning the subjects.
