Temporal variations of deformation and gravity

Chair: D. Wolf (Germany)
Affiliation: Comm. 3, 2

Introduction

Recent advances in ground-, satellite- and space-geodetic techniques have detected temporal variations of deformation and gravity with unprecedented accuracy over a wide period range. These variations are related to various surficial and internal earth processes. The new types of observational data require the development of 2-D/3-D earth models and novel interpretational techniques.

Program of activities

• Development of 2D/3-D elastic/viscoelastic earth models for simulating processes responsible for deformation and gravity variations.
• Forward modelling of deformation and gravity variations caused by atmospheric, cryospheric, hydrospheric or internal forcing functions.
• Inverse modelling of observed deformation and gravity variations in terms of forcing functions or in terms of elastic/viscoelastic earth parameters.
