  • Global Positioning System

    Theory and Practice

    by Herbert Lichtenegger, Bernhard Hofmann-Wellenhof, James Collins ...
    This book is dedicated to Dr. Benjamin William Remondi for many reasons. The project of writing a Global Positioning System (GPS) book was con ceived in April 1988 at a GPS meeting in Darmstadt, Germany. Dr. Remondi discussed with me the need for an additional GPS textbook and suggested a possible joint effort. In 1989, I was willing to commit myself to such a project. Unfortunately, the timing ...

  • InSAR Observations of Ground Deformation

    Application to the Cascades Volcanic Arc

    by Amy Laura Parker ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This doctoral thesis applies measurements of ground deformation from satellite radar using their potential to play a key role in understanding volcanic and magmatic processes throughout the eruption cycle. However, making these measurements is often problematic, and the processes driving ground deformation are commonly poorly understood. These problems are approached in this thesis in the context ...
