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.
