Vlaar, N J

This survey deals with modern methods for the determination of the structure of the Earth and for the analysis and modeling of the dynamic processes in the Earth's interior. Seismology and the three-dimensional structure of the Earth are covered in chapters devoted to waves in the three-dimensional Earth and large-scale inversion, while the discussion of convection and lithospheric processes focuses on geomagnetism, mantle convection, post-glacial rebound, and thermomechanical processes in the lithosphere. The emphasis of the work is theoretical, but the reader will find a discussion of the pertinent observational evidence.
