Geophysical and the internal composition of the Earth, rheological properties the mantle. Determination of
displacements, stress and gravitational potential induced by surface loads,
internal mass anomalies and dislocations. Temporal variations of gravity field
and applications. Average sea level variations induced by instability in the cryosphere
and plate tectonics. Static crustal deformations induced by earthquakes.
Intended learning outcomes
This course is designed to achieve the general objectives in the form of outputs that the student is supposed to acquire after successfully completing the course, as follows:1. Collects the necessary information from under the earth's crust, an integrated model of the internal structure of the earth.2. The student notes the tectonic and destructive processes of the earth's crust and their relationship to the composition of the mantle.3. Explain the inhomogeneous gravitational behavior and its relationship to the structure of the Earth.4. Gain experience in interpreting geophysical data.
