This book augments and extends the classic textbook Geodynamics by Turcotte and Schubert, presenting more complex and foundational mathematical approaches to global tectonics, plate driving forces, space geodesy, and earthquake physics. It includes student exercises that use the methods developed, with solutions available online for instructors.

David T. Sandwell is a Professor of Geophysics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego. His research is focused on marine tectonics and geodynamics, and he develops global marine gravity and topography models from satellite altimetry and ship soundings. He is author of more than 190 research papers. He is a Fellow of Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
