Gravity inversion and integration. Theory and applications in geodesy and geophysics / Инверсия гравитации и интеграция. Теория и применение в геодезии и геофизике

The task of this book is to convey some basic and in-depth knowledge on the traditional and recent theory of gravity inversion and integration for applications in geodesy and geophysics. The subject fields, physical geodesy and geophysics including geodynamics with emphasis on gravity information, are briefly introduced. Also the recent history of physical geodesy and gravimetric geophysics is reviewed. It follows that satellite techniques are indispensable for global to regional studies. The basic but important concepts of a geodetic reference system, frame and datum are also defined with examples. The Geodetic Reference System 1980, a versatile tool in most applications of gravity data, is presented in some detail. <...>
