Covering both astronomical and geophysical perspectives, this book
describes changes in the Earth's orientation, specifically
precession and nutation, and how they are observed and computed in
terms of tidal forcing and models of the Earth's interior.
Following an introduction to key concepts and elementary geodetic
theory, the book describes how precise measurements of the Earth's
orientation are made using observations of extra-galactic
radio-sources by Very Long Baseline Interferometry techniques. It
demonstrates how models are used to accurately pinpoint the
location and orientation of the Earth with reference to the stars,
and how to determine variations in its rotation speed. A
theoretical framework is also presented that describes the role
played by the structure and properties of the Earth's deep
interior. Incorporating suggestions for future developments in
nutation theory for the next generation models, this book is ideal
for advanced-level students and researchers in solid Earth
geophysics, planetary science and astronomy.
