Global and Regional Geodynamics: Symposium No. 101 Edinburgh, Scotland, August 3–5, 1989 (International Association of Geodesy Symposia, 101)

Current studies of recent crustal movement are presented using space and terrestrial geodetic methods. Results of the studies, as well as methodological questions related to monitoring, are discussed. Papers are grouped within the following section headings: - Global Plate Motions Instrumentation and Modeling; - Regional Dynamics Modeling of Deformation; - Deformation Studies by GPS Horizontal Crustal Movements; - Vertical Crustal Movements; - Gravimetry and Crustal Deformation This volume is a comprehensive reference for research scientists and students.
