... return period of characteristic earthquakes should be well above Δt=250year ( around Δt=1000 year ). For “giant” earthquakes (MW≥9.0 ) (Table 3 ) the Δt=250year return period seems to be satisfactory. Presently the prediction of return periods is based on statistical analysis of regional earthquake ...

... in the mantle can occur in nonsubduction environments (e.g., by delamination of the mafic crust; Bédard, 2006), but in these models, it is unclear how hydrous rocks are transported down. We acknowledge, however, that geochemistry puts only weak constraints on the size and shape of the buried parcels ...

... [2] Measurements of Love and Rayleigh waves at short and intermediate periods provide the principal seismological constraint, on a global scale, on the properties of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle [e.g., Ekström, 2000]. Today, the crust has been characterized successfully by local seismic refle ...

Since the real crustal density is not constant, variations of density within the crust will also produce gravity an ...

Geodesy



Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), — also known as geodetics or geodetics engineering — a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
