商品描述

This book aims to provide, with comprehensive detail, the fundamental theory of the Earth's global elastic deformation, as well as the associated variations of the gravity field and rotation, that the readers can thoroughly understand with little reference to other books or journal papers. Its contents belong to the essential background physics of geodesy nowadays.

The noteworthy style of this book is its inclusion of ample intermediate steps of mathematical derivations and physical interpretations of the mathematical formulae not found elsewhere. It is based on undergraduate mathematics and physics as usually taught to mathematics- or physics-heavy majors. No university-level Earth science knowledge is assumed; the most elementary is provided concisely to the depth required. Mathematics and physics above the level mentioned, notably, vector and tensor analysis, spherical harmonics, elasticity, and solid body rotation, are treated to sufficient depth for preparing the readers to understand the relevant publications on theoretical formulation. Gravity and shape of the Earth are essential for the deformation theory. Seismology relies on the theory of the elastic deformation of the Earth; the density and elastic parameters of the Earth are determined using seismic data. Therefore, gravity and seismology are also treated adequately. Specifically, the free oscillation of the Earth, which is a kind of global elastic deformation, is treated to a depth and detail rarely found in books of seismology. After all these preparations, the elastic deformation theories of the Earth tide and surface loading are developed. The formulation of the respective Love numbers, as well as their roles in the Earth rotation theory, is emphasized. Plenty of details on the methods and implementations of numerical computations are included. The topics covered are fundamental and common for theoretical geodesists devoted to studying global geophysical processes. Besides, also provided are many details on the applications of the Love numbers in the study of Earth system processes using space geodetic data, particularly, the mass transport in the atmosphere-hydrosphere-cryosphere system.

To the author's knowledge, this is the first book in this discipline that brings mathematics, physics, theoretical modeling, methods of numerical computations, as well as applications together in such detail and depth starting from very fundamental mathematics and physics. The details of the derivations and interpretations of the mathematical formulae are expected to be valuable assets for both researchers and educators.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在提供地球全球彈性變形的基本理論，以及相關的重力場和自轉變化，內容詳盡，讀者可以在幾乎不參考其他書籍或期刊論文的情況下徹底理解。其內容屬於當今大地測量學的基本背景物理學。

本書的一個顯著特點是包含了大量的數學推導中間步驟和數學公式的物理詮釋，這在其他地方並不常見。內容基於本科階段的數學和物理，通常是針對數學或物理重的專業所教授的。書中不假設讀者具備大學級別的地球科學知識，而是簡明扼要地提供所需的最基本知識。超出上述水平的數學和物理，特別是向量和張量分析、球面調和函數、彈性和固體旋轉，則深入探討，以幫助讀者理解相關的理論公式出版物。重力和地球形狀對於變形理論至關重要。地震學依賴於地球的彈性變形理論；地球的密度和彈性參數是利用地震數據確定的。因此，重力和地震學也得到了充分的探討。具體而言，地球的自由振盪作為一種全球彈性變形，深入探討的深度和細節在地震學書籍中少見。在完成所有這些準備後，發展了地球潮汐和表面負載的彈性變形理論。強調了各自的Love數的公式及其在地球自轉理論中的作用。書中包含了大量有關數值計算方法和實施的細節。所涵蓋的主題對於致力於研究全球地球物理過程的理論大地測量學家來說是基本且常見的。此外，還提供了許多有關使用空間大地測量數據研究地球系統過程中Love數應用的細節，特別是大氣-水圈-冰圈系統中的質量運輸。

據作者所知，這是該學科中第一本將數學、物理、理論建模、數值計算方法以及應用如此詳細和深入地結合在一起的書籍，從非常基本的數學和物理開始。數學公式的推導和詮釋的細節預期將成為研究人員和教育工作者的寶貴資產。

作者簡介

Jun-Yi Guo is a Professor of Teaching, Division of Geodetic Science, School of Earth Sciences, The Ohio State University. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree in geodesy from the Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping (now integrated into Wuhan University), China, and a Doctor of Science degree from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. He is a theoretical/mathematical geodesist/geophysicist specializing in the modelling of physical systems and in physical-problem-specific methodologies of data analysis. His publications cover a wide range of topics including surface loading theory, formulation and detection of the inner core wobble, formulation of outer core flow, detection of the Slichter modes, processing of Level 1B and Level 2 data of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), prediction of Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) etc. His long-term professional aspiration lies in advancing fundamental theories in geodesy and geophysics in global scale, particularly, the theory of Earth deformation, which is associated with variations of gravity and rotation of the Earth.

Before joining The Ohio State University, he was a professor of geodesy at the Wuhan University, where he taught theoretical courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He wrote lecture notes of his own for the courses in "Physical Geodesy" and "Geophysics," leading to the publication of two textbooks in Chinese. Realizing the lack of similar textbooks in the English literature, he has completely rewritten them in English and updated them to reflect recent advances. These efforts led to the publication of two textbooks by Springer entitled "Physical Geodesy: A Theoretical Introduction" and "Physical Geodesy: Global Elastic Deformation of the Earth."

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Jun-Yi Guo 是俄亥俄州立大學地球科學學院測量科學系的教學教授。他擁有中國武漢測繪科技大學（現已併入武漢大學）的測量工程學士學位，以及比利時魯汶大學的科學博士學位。他是一位理論/數學測量學家/地球物理學家，專注於物理系統的建模以及針對特定物理問題的方法論數據分析。他的出版物涵蓋了廣泛的主題，包括表面負載理論、內核擺動的公式化與檢測、外核流動的公式化、Slichter 模式的檢測、重力恢復與氣候實驗（GRACE）衛星任務的 Level 1B 和 Level 2 數據處理、冰川等靜調整（GIA）、地球取向參數（EOPs）的預測等。他的長期職業抱負在於推進全球範圍內測量學和地球物理學的基本理論，特別是與重力變化和地球自轉相關的地球變形理論。

在加入俄亥俄州立大學之前，他曾是武漢大學的測量學教授，教授本科和研究生的理論課程。他為「物理測量學」和「地球物理學」的課程撰寫了自己的講義，並出版了兩本中文教材。意識到英語文獻中缺乏類似的教材，他已將這些教材完全重寫為英文，並更新以反映最近的進展。這些努力導致了兩本由 Springer 出版的教材的出版，分別為《物理測量學：理論介紹》和《物理測量學：地球的全球彈性變形》。
