Crustal Deformation

Catalog description

Course Description: Theory and analysis of Earth’s surface deformation in response to tectonic, volcanic, hydrologic, and human processes. Analysis of deformation fields using geodetic, seismic, and remote sensing data. Linking patterns of surface deformation to physical mechanisms with elastic, viscoelastic, and poroelastic models. Case studies and data exercises build skills for interpreting deformation in diverse tectonic and environmental settings.
