All information about the
Earth’s interior comes from field observations and measurements made within the
top few kilometers of the surface, from laboratory experiments and from the
powers of human deduction, relying on complex numerical modeling. Solid Earth
Geophysics encompasses all these endeavors and aspires to define and quantify
the internal structure and processes of the Earth in terms of the principles of
physics, corresponding mathematical formulations and computational procedures.
The role of Solid Earth Geophysics has gained prominence with increasing
recognition of the fact that knowledge and understanding of Earth processes are
central to the continued well being of the global community. Apart from
persistent search for natural resources, this research line is linked to basic
investigations regarding the mutual relationships between climate and tectonics
and on the effects of global change in terms of a wide spectrum of natural
hazards. Consequently, the pursuit of this science has seen spectacular
progress all over the world in recent decades, both in fundamental and applied
aspects, necessarily aided by advancements in allied fields of science and
technology.
