Airborne Geophysics and Precise Positioning: Scientific Issues and Future Directions

by National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources, Committee on Geodesy

Overview

The Global Positioning System, with its capability for both precisely positioning and navigating an aircraft, has created new scientific opportunities for studying the earth. This book examines the state of the art in airborne geophysics as integrated with new precise positioning systems, and it outlines the scientific goals of focused effort in airborne geophysics, including advances in our understanding of solid earth processes, global climate change, the environment, and resources.
