ErSE 212 Geophysical Geodesy and Geodynamics

Satellite geodesy, gravimetry, GPS, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), radar altimetry. Plate tectonics and paleomagnetism, plate motions, plate-boundary deformation, seismic cycle, heat flow, basin subsidence, plate-flexure, post-glacial rebound, geoid determination, gravity anomalies, sea-level measurements, tides, earth rotational variations, volcano geodesy. This course provides an introduction to commonly used geodetic methods in geophysics, such as triangulation, leveling, borehole strain monitoring, GPS, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), radar altimetry, optical image correlation and gravimetry. Several applications of these methods are discussed, e.g. for studying plate motions, plate-boundary deformation, seismic cycle processes, basin subsidence, plate-flexure, post-glacial rebound, geoid variations, gravity anomalies, sea-level changes, tides, earth rotational variations, and volcanic processes.
