"This excellent and timely book presents and develops models for earth deformations. Applications of the models to various deformation data illustrate their usefulness, but at the same time make clear the limitations and approximations involved. Student and researchers who work through the text and examples will have a good understanding of modeling earth deformations and a powerful toolbox for analyzing a variety of problems."--John W. Rudnicki, Northwestern University"In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the observations of active crustal deformations that employ new measurement techniques like GPS and InSAR. Many in the field are using methods and codes to model their observations with only a limited understanding of the foundations for these methods. This is the first book to bring together the basic theory underpinning the modeling, and it will greatly impact the field."--Barry Parsons, University of Oxford
