Satellite Gravimetry and the Solid Earth: Mathematical Foundations presents the theories behind satellite gravimetry data and their connections to solid Earth. It covers the theory of satellite gravimetry and data analysis, presenting it in a way that is accessible across geophysical disciplines. Through a discussion of satellite measurements and the mathematical concepts behind them, the book shows how various satellite measurements, such as satellite orbit, acceleration, vector gravimetry, gravity gradiometry, and integral energy methods can contribute to an understanding of the gravity field and solid Earth geophysics.

Bridging the gap between geodesy and geophysics, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and students studying gravity, gravimetry and a variety of geophysical and Earth Science fields.

Presents mathematical concepts in a pedagogic and straightforward way to enhance understanding across disciplines
Explains how a variety of satellite data can be used for gravity field determination and other geophysical applications
Covers a number of problems related to gravimetry and the gravity field, as well as the effects of atmospheric and topographic factors on the data
Addresses the regularization method for solving integral equations, isostasy based on gravimetric and flexure methods, elastic thickness, and sub-lithospheric stress

Industry Reviews

"I believe it is best when the author introduces their book. For example, Mehdi Eshagh states, "My main goal was that the book should be simple, complete, didactic, and pedagogic and suitable for researchers in different fields.? Eshagh continues, "In my opinion, showing how satellite gravimetry data, which are collected on platforms far from the earth's surface, are related to the gravity field and geophysical phenomena inside the earth is an interesting subject.? As the secondary title states, the book presents a mathematical foundation for the global application of these data.... This relatively small-format (9 x 6 in) 486-page volume has more than 180 color figures, some postage-stamp size and others half-page size. Some of the figures are rendered well, and others are not. I would have preferred if there were more full-page color figures; however, black-and-white images are numerous and adequate. Hopefully, these shortcomings will be addressed in the next edition." --Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG)
