Download or read book Treatise on Geophysics written by and published by Elsevier Science. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 6054 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The keys to the success of an enterprise such as the Treatise on Geophysics are the editors of the individual volumes and the authors who have contributed chapters. The editors are leaders in their fields of expertise, as distinguished a group of geophysicists as could be assembled on the planet. They know well the topics that had to be covered to achieve the breadth and depth required by the Treatise, and they know who were the best of their colleagues to write on each subject. The list of chapter authors is an impressive one, consisting of geophysicists who have made major contributions to their fields of study. The quality and coverage achieved by this group of editors and authors has insured that the Treatise will be the definitive major reference work and textbook in geophysics. Each volume of the Treatise begins with an Overview chapter by the volume editor. The Overviews provide the editors' perspectives of their fields, views of the past, present, and future. They also summarize the contents of their volumes and discuss important topics not addressed elsewhere in the chapters. The Overview chapters are excellent introductions to their volumes. The volumes of the Treatise are: Volume 1: Seismology and Structure of the Earth Volume 2: Mineral Physics Volume 3: Geodesy Volume 4: Earthquake Seismology Volume 5: Geomagnetism Volume 6: Crustal and Lithosphere Dynamics Volume 7: Mantle Dynamics Volume 8: Core Dynamics Volume 9: Evolution of the Earth Volume 10: Planets and Moons An eleventh volume of the Treatise provides a comprehensive index.

Download or read book Gravity Inversion and Integration written by Lars E. Sjöberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains theory and applications of gravity both for physical geodesy and geophysics. It identifies classical and modern topics for studying the Earth. Worked-out examples illustrate basic but important concepts of the Earth’s gravity field. In addition, coverage details the Geodetic Reference System 1980, a versatile tool in most applications of gravity data. The authors first introduce the necessary mathematics. They then review classic physical geodesy, including its integral formulas, height systems and their determinations. The next chapter presents modern physical geodesy starting with the original concepts of M.S. Molodensky. A major part of this chapter is a variety of modifying Stokes’ formula for geoid computation by combining terrestrial gravity data and an Earth Gravitational Model. Coverage continues with a discussion that compares today’s methods for modifying Stokes’ formulas for geoid and quasigeoid determination, a description of several modern tools in physical geodesy, and a review of methods for gravity inversion as well as analyses for temporal changes of the gravity field. This book aims to broaden the view of scientists and students in geodesy and geophysics. With a focus on theory, it provides basic and some in-depth knowledge about the field from a geodesist’s perspective. /div

Download or read book Geodesy written by Wolfgang Torge and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of this textbook has been thoroughly revised in order to reflect the central role which geodesy has achieved in the past ten years. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation, and the earth’s gravity field. Space techniques play a fundamental role, with recent space missions also including gravity field recovery. Terrestrial techniques are important for regional and local applications, and for validating the results of the space missions. Global and regional reference systems are now well established and widely used. They also serve as a basis for geo-information systems. The analysis of the time variation of the geodetic products provides the link to other geosciences and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation methods. Selected examples of instruments illustrate the geodetic work. An extensive reference list supports further studies. The book is intended to serve as an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a reference for scientists and engineers in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering and geomatics.

Book excerpt: "Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who lived basically in the third century B.C., was one of those first mathematicians whose knowledge and abilities at these early stages of human civilization was remarkable. Besides his method for seeking prime numbers, he particularly also contributed to the measurement of the Earth by, for example, determining its circumference. In this respect, he might have been the geomathematician, or at least one of the. Many more followed him, where definitely Carl Friedrich Gauss must be mentioned here, who can be seen as the greatest genius in mathematical history. His works and their in uence are widespread in mathematics and they are also of essential importance in various applications, in particular and (in the author's possibly biased point of view) first of all in Earth sciences, especially geomagnetics and potential theory. The awareness, which reaches back to the classical antiquity, that mathematics is the foremostly required skill and toolbox for understanding the objects and processes that surround us has been preserved up to the presence. It has nicely and more generally been put in a nutshell by the quotation above, which is from Kant (1786), for the English translation, see Kant (1883). Over the centuries, Earth sciences and mathematics have both advanced. While the achievements at the time of Eratosthenes and his fellows are nowadays parts of the curricula at schools, many modern challenges in geosciences are equally challenges to 21st century mathematics.Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who lived basically in the third century B.C., was one of those first mathematicians whose knowledge and abilities at these early stages of human civilization was remarkable.
