Due to their unique geophysical and geodynamic environment, both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions are often utilized for geodetic and geophysical observations. This book is a collection of papers on various aspects of the scientific investigation and observation techniques of the polar regions at both temporary and permanent observatories. Most papers focus on regional models based on data acquired in polar regions. Geodetic satellite positions systems (GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO) will also be discussed as well as other space techniques (DORIS, VLBI). Gravimetry, absolute gravimetry,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Due to their unique geophysical and geodynamic environment, both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions are often utilized for geodetic and geophysical observations. This book is a collection of papers on various aspects of the scientific investigation and observation techniques of the polar regions at both temporary and permanent observatories. Most papers focus on regional models based on data acquired in polar regions. Geodetic satellite positions systems (GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO) will also be discussed as well as other space techniques (DORIS, VLBI). Gravimetry, absolute gravimetry, and tidal gravimetry are also discussed, as well as seismology and meteorology. The book also touches on data analysis and geodynamic interpretation and discusses methods of constructing autonomous observatories.

Rezensionen
From the reviews:
"This book is a set of 20 research articles written by 80 authors from 12 countries. ... They successfully guided and edited this book, which may be considered an important step in discovery and better recognition of the continent. ... Subsequent articles, in a concise but sufficiently informative style, deal with issues of different scale and importance. ... interesting to all geoscientists active in polar regions as well as to graduate students in geophysics and geodesy for the many methodological aspects touched upon by the authors." (Marek Lewandowski, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 168, 2011)
