Description
Summary:The 18th International Symposium on Geodynamics and Earth Tides 2016 covered phenomena that generate temporal variations in geodetic and geophysical observations. In calculating the stress field for Earth tides, the observed geodetic response is used for defining the Earth's rheology, the Earth internal structure, Earth rotation parameters, and the functioning of the sophisticated instrumentation mounted on Earth and satellites. The instrumentation capable of observing Earth tides, measures changes generated by lithospheric plate movements, as the earthquake cycle and volcanism. Hydrology, temperature, and pressure, either of natural or anthropogenic origin, affect the high precision observations, and therefore must be included in this study-realm. Keywords: Geodynamics, Earth tides, Geodetic observation, Earth rotation parameters, GNSS
