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.

Mehdi Eshagh is a Professor of Geodesy at University West in Sweden. His field of research covers satellite gravimetry with specialisation in local gravity field determination, crustal structure recovery and stress determination using gravimetric data. The subject of this book is exactly in the research field of the author and this book will be a collection of the author’s experiences in Satellite gravimetry and its applications.

Reviews for Satellite Gravimetry and the Solid Earth: Mathematical Foundations

""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 × 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)
