ERTH 471 / GEOP 572 - Geodetic Methods

4. Modeling

Here we will go into the basics of how to extract parameters from our data that will eventually tell us something about the natural system that we observe. We will introduce a few mathematical models that describe various phenomena as well as some theory on stress and strain and dislocations.
