Gravity, Geoid and Marine Geodesy: International Symposium No. 117 Tokyo, Japan, September 30 - October 5, 1996 (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1stPaperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1997, 1 December 2010

Based on an international symposium held in Tokyo, the volume combines papers in the fields of gravity, geoid and marine geodesy. Special emphasis is placed on the use of gravity in modeling tectonic processes and the problems of geophysical inversion. In addition, absolute and relative gravity measurement in static and airborne mode, satellite altimetry, geopotential modeling, and global geodynamics are dealt with. The field of marine geodesy includes contributions on sea level change, seafloor deformation and mapping, sea surface positioning, electronic charting, and datum transformations.
