  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. Recovering Moho parameters using gravimetric and seismic data

    Author : Majid Abrehdary; Lars E. Sjöberg; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Pavel Novák; KTH; []
    Keywords : crust; gravity; mantle; Moho depth; non-isostatic effect; residual isostatic topography; stripping; thermal state; Vening Meinesz-Moritz model; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Isostasy is a key concept in geoscience to interpret the state of mass balance between the Earth’s crust and mantle. There are four well-known isostatic models: the classical models of Airy/Heiskanen (A/H), Pratt/Hayford (P/H), and Vening Meinesz (VM) and the modern model of Vening Meinesz-Moritz (VMM). READ MORE

  5. 3. Regional Geoid Determination Methods for the Era of Satellite Gravimetry : Numerical Investigations Using Synthetic Earth Gravity Models

    Author : Jonas Ågren; Lars E. Sjöberg; Zdenek Martince; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; geoid determination; GOCE; synthetic earth gravity models; kernel modification; downward continuation; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : It is the purpose of this thesis to investigate different regional geoid determination methods with respect to their feasibility for use with a future GOCE satellite-only Earth Gravity Model (EGM). This includes investigations of various techniques, which involve different approximations, as well as the expected accuracy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monitoring lithospheric motions by Satellite geodesy

    Author : Nureldin A. A. Gido; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Lars E. Sjöberg; Faramarz Nilfouroushan; Hossein Nahavandchi; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geodesi; Geodesy;

    Abstract : Understanding of global and local Earth’s dynamic processes is of great importance to the Earth’s system knowledge, human life, and sustainability goals (e.g. climatic change and geo-hazard assessment, etc.). READ MORE
