  2. 1. An Isostatic Earth Crustal Model : and Its Applications

    Author : Mohammad Bagherbandi; Lars E. Sjöberg; Martinec Zdeněk; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Crustal thickness; inverse isostatic problem; isostasy; isostatic compensation; Moho depth; Moho density contrast; downward continuation; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract :  The Mohorovičič discontinuity (Moho), which is the surface separating the Earth’s crust from the mantle, is of great interest among geoscientists. The Moho depth can be determined by seismic and gravimetric methods. READ MORE

  4. 2. Contributions of Satellite Geodesy to Post-Glacial Rebound Research

    Author : Seyed Mehdi Shafiei Joud; Lars E. Sjöberg; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Martin Horwath; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacial Isostatic Adjustment GIA ; gravimetric GIA modelling; satellite geodesy; Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment GRACE ; independent component analysis ICA ; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is a global and long-term process in the Earth, which began 21.5 millennia ago, according to many ice history modellers. One way to understand the processes of the Earth’s interior, the crustal deformation, and a key correction to estimate the climatological parameters is obtained by studying GIA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Space Geodesy Techniques: An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Antenna Related Error Sources

    Author : R. T. Kenneth Jaldehag; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reflector antennas; signal scattering; very long baseline interferometry VLBI ; signal multipath; space geodesy; GPS error sources; geodetic networks; Global Positioning System GPS ; postglacial rebound; choke-ring antennas;

    Abstract : This thesis presents work associated with antenna related error sources, as well as antenna design, in space geodesy utilizing the techniques of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and the Global Positioning System (GPS). Geodetic VLBI uses large radio telescopes, often in global networks observing at least a few times per year. READ MORE

  6. 4. GPS for Geophysics: Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Tests of Ionospheric Models

    Author : Sten Bergstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rheology; noise; crustal deformation; horizontal movement; time series analysis; ionosphere; GPS; NeQuick;

    Abstract : This dissertation is divided into two parts that separately utilize high precision Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite observations for inferences of solid earth and ionospheric parameters.In the first part of the dissertation, solid earth movements in Sweden and Finland are observed with GPS at a precision of the order 0.1 mm/yr.
