Sinopsis

This self-containedátext/reference provides a basic foundation for practitioners, researchers, and students interested in any of the diverse areas of multiscale (geo)potential theory. New mathematical methods are developedáenabling the gravitational potential of a planetary body to be modeled using a continuous flow of observations from land or satellite devices. Harmonic wavelets methods are introduced, as well as fast computational schemes and various numerical test examples. Presented are multiscale approaches for numerous geoscientific problems, including geoidal determination, magnetic field reconstruction, deformation analysis, and density variation modelling With exercises at the end of each chapter, the bookámay be used as a textbook for graduate-level courses in geomathematics, applied mathematics, and geophysics. Theáwork is also an up-to-date reference text for geoscientists, applied mathematicians, and engineers.
