Springer Reference Frames for Geosciences - IAG Symposia 138

Reference Frames for Applications in Geosciences: 138, published by Springer, provides essential insights into the systems and frames that drive modern Earth science. This volume from the International Association of Geodesy Symposia is a vital resource for researchers and professionals working in satellite navigation and geo-information applications. Understanding precisely defined reference frames is necessary for many scientific fields. This book addresses the fundamental requirements for quantifying Earth rotation, gravity fields, and global or regional sea level variations. It also covers critical topics such as tectonic motion, deformation, post-glacial rebound, and geocenter motion. By examining large scale deformation from earthquakes, local subsidence, and other crustal dislocations, this text serves as a foundation for those studying complex geological movements. Whether you are focused on practical geo-information or high-level scientific research, this publication offers the technical context needed to understand how reference systems impact our measurement of the Earth.
