Full textAn interdisciplinary approach at the interface between geodesy and geophysics has recently resolved several Earth science problems at regional and global scales. I use the term “geophysical geodesy” to distinguish the technical and theoretical aspect of geodesy from geophysical applications of geodetic techniques. Using a wide range of Earth observation data, I study the spatio-temporal characteristics of Earth surface deformation in the United States associated with several geophysical processes, including natural and anthropogenic subsidence and uplift, regional relative sea-level rise, and continental hydrological loading. The theoretical portion of this dissertation applies loading theory and develops a new hybrid method to improve the estimate of hydrologically-induced vertical deformation at time scales from sub-annual to multi-annual. The application part of this dissertation benefits from GPS and other geodetic and geologic data sets to study and model Earth’s surface uplift due to CO2 injection at an oil reservoir in coastal Texas, and coastal subsidence and nuisance flooding along the Mississippi River Delta and eastern seaboard of the United States.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The suitability of local construction materials for construction purposes is governed by several rock mechanical properties. Strength, durability, performance and petrography of aggregates all influence the decisions engineers make in deciding if the aggregate is suitable and sustainable throughout the lifetime of a structure. This thesis investigates these properties by combining engineering, chemistry and geological disciplines to make informed decisions. The pertaining project for which the research was conducted is the construction of the gravimeter vault at the Matjiesfontein Geodesy and Earth Observation Observatory (MGO) although the research acquired can be used for other projects of a similar nature and other outbuildings at the MGO. Material at and around the site were tested for strength and durability according to certain South African National Standards (SANS). Slake durability was tested as certain rock types tend to slake when exposed to the atmosphere such as tillite of the Dwyka formation and shale of the Karoo Supergroup. Concrete cube strength was determined on cubes containing crushed rock from Matjiesfontein as well as river sand. Cube strength was conducted to analyse performance and to establish a mix design that would be sustainable throughout the lifetime of the project. Petrographic examination using Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and inspection under a petrographic microscope were conducted. These methods were used to determine if a risk exists for alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) in concrete when the rock types are used as aggregate, particularly if high quartz-bearing rock types such as quartzite of the Table Mountain group were to be used as coarse aggregate. Inspection of thin sections for strained quartz under a petrographic microscope and SEM imaging were important in determining if ASR may occur. The gravimeter vault was constructed using materials sourced mainly from Laingsburg. Tillite satisfied all tests and analyses conducted during the research, making it more suitable for construction than the other materials from Matjiesfontein. The slake durability test indicates that tillite is nearly as durable as quartzite, which is considered the most durable rock type at Matjiesfontein. This is due to atmospheric conditions in the Karoo being very dry with low humidity in comparison to the coast where slaking is known to occur. Slaking properties were most prominent for shale at Matjiesfontein and if excavated, it is recommended to cover the exposed shale with a layer of asphalt or cement to prevent slaking. The 10% fines aggregate crushing test (10%FACT) value for tillite was over the 210 kN prerequisite and the wet-to-dry ratio over 75% making it suitable for road construction according to the 10%FACT. All cube tests reached the desired 40 MPa prerequisite although the mixtures containing local river sand were unworkable. Unlike quartzite and quartzitic sandstone from Matjiesfontein, tillite is low in quartz and has minimal strained quartz. Therefore, no risk exists for ASR if tillite were to be used as aggregate in concrete.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die geskiktheid van plaaslike konstruksiemateriale vir konstruksiedoeleindes word deur sekere rots meganiese eienskappe beïnvloed. Sterkte, duursaamheid, volhoubaarheid en petrografie van aggregaat beïnvloed die besluite wat ingenieurs moet neem sodat die aggregaat aan standaarde voldoen en gedurende die leeftyd van ‘n struktuur volhoubaar is. Hierdie tesis ondersoek die genoemde eienskappe deur ingenieurs-, chemiese- en geologiese dissiplines te kombineer. Die voorgenome projek, waarvoor die navorsing ter sprake is, is vir die konstruksie van die gravimeterkluis by die “Matjiesfontein Geodesy and Earth Observation Observatory (MGO)”, alhoewel die navorsing ook gebruik kan word vir soortgelyke projekte, sowel as die konstruksie van die res van die geboue by die MGO. Materiale van die terrein en die omgewing is volgens sekere Suid-Afrikaanse kodes vir sterkte en duursaamheid getoets. Die blusbaarheid van materiale is getoets omdat sekere materiale, soos tilliet van die Dwyka-formasie en skalie van die Karoo Supergroep blus wanneer dit aan die atmosfeer blootgestel word. Die betonsterkte van kubusse, waarin plaaslike gesteentes en riviersand van Matjiesfontein vir aggregaat gebruik is, is bepaal. Die kubusse is getoets om die sterkte daarvan te analiseer en om ‘n betonmengsel, wat tydens die leeftyd van die projek volhoubaar is, daar te stel. Petrografiese eksaminering deur X-straal difraksie (XRD), X-straal fluoressensie (XRF), Skandeerelektronmikroskopie (SEM) en inspeksie onder ‘n petrografiese mikroskoop is gedoen. Met die doel om die petrografiese samestelling van materiale van Matjiesfontein te bepaal, is hierdie metodes gevolg om te uit te vind of daar ‘n risiko vir alkalie-silikaat reaksies (ASR) bestaan, as die gesteentes in beton gebruik word. Veral gesteentes met ‘n hoë hoeveelheid kwarts, soos kwartsiet van die Tafelberg-groep, is hier ter sprake. Inspeksie van dunsnitte vir gespanne kwarts onder ‘n petrografiese mikroskoop en SEM was belangrik om die risiko vir ASR te bepaal. Die gravimeterkluis is hoofsaaklik met materiale afkomstig van Laingsburg gebou. In vergelyking met die ander gesteentes by Matjiesfontein is tilliet, volgens alle toetsparameters, die mees geskikte gesteente vir konstruksiedoeleindes. Die blusbaarheid van tilliet vergelyk goed met kwartsiet, wat as die sterkste en duursaamste gesteente by Matjiesfontein, beskou word. Die rede hiervoor is die atmosferiese toestande wat baie droër is, asook die laer humiditeit in die Karoo, in vergelyking met gebiede nader aan die kus waar blusting meer algemeen voorkom. Die blusbaarheid van skalie by Matjiesfontein kom algemeen voor. As daar dus uitgrawing in hierdie gebied plaasvind, word dit aanbeveel dat ‘n laag sement of asfalt oorgegooi word om die blusting te verhoed. Die 10%FACT waarde vir tilliet was bo die vereiste 210 kN, asook bo die 75% nat-teenoor-droog-verhouding en daarom is dit volgens die 10%FACT-toets as padboumateriaal geskik. Alhoewel mengsels, wat plaaslike riviersand bevat het, onwerkbaar was, het alle toetsmonsters (kubusse) die vereiste 40 MPa- sterkte bereik. In vergelyking met kwartsiet en kwarsitiese sandsteen, bevat tilliet min kwarts en ook minimale gespanne kwarts. Daar bestaan dus geen risiko vir ASR indien tilliet van Matjiesfontien in die beton gebruik word nie.

Resumo: Com o uso de métodos adequados, receptores GNSS podem determinar coordenadas com acurácia suficiente para aplicação em projetos de engenharia. Porém a altitude elipsoidal obtida não utiliza o mesmo sistema de referência da engenharia de transportes. A altitude elipsoidal pode ser transformada em ortométrica com a utilização de modelos geoidais que são gerados a partir de dados gravimétricos. Neste trabalho são apresentados alguns conceitos introdutórios sobre a geração de modelo geoidais. Em seguida mostra o desenvolvimento de uma nova sistematização do tratamento de dados gravimétricos com objetivo de facilitar a detecção de erros, aumentar a produtividade e melhorar a organização de resultados obtidos. Dentro deste desenvolvimento, são revisadas as teorias utilizadas para transformar medições feitas com gravímetros diferenciais em aceleração da gravidade. Apresenta também técnicas de ajustamento de observações com intuito tratar erros aleatórios. A nova abordagem sugerida foi utilizada para o desenvolvimento de um software objetivando validar as idéias propostas, permitir a comparação com outras soluções existentes e também servir como uma contribuição tecnológica. Dados gravimétricos reais foram testados dentro da abordagem proposta tendo sido observados mais organização, ganho de produtividade e principalmente a detecção de erros grosseiros e aleatórios. Com a revisão do cálculo da correção da maré, percebeu-se que programas e equipamentos atualmente em uso não possuem configuração do fator gravimétrico, fato que pode influenciar em até 0; 007mGals no processamento das observações
Abstract: With the use of appropriate methods, GNSS receivers can determine coordinates with sufficient accuracy for use in projects. The ellipsoidal height obtained, however, does not use the same reference system as the one used in transportation engineering. The ellipsoidal height can be transformed to orthometric height using geoid models that are generated from gravimetric data. In this work some introductory concepts on the generation of geoid model are presented. Then it shows the development of a new approach in systematization of gravimetric data processing aiming to facilitate the detection of errors, increase productivity and improve the organization of the results obtained in the gravimetric surveys. Within this development, the theories used to convert measurements of the differences in gravity acceleration are revised. It also features adjustment techniques of observations in order to deal with random errors. The new suggested approach was used to develop software in order to validate the proposed ideas, allow comparison with other existing solutions, and also serves as a technological contribution. Gravimetric data were tested within the suggested approach. It was observed better organization, productivity gains and mainly detection of gross errors and random. With the review of the tide correction calculation, it was realized that programs and equipments now widely used have no gravimetric factor setting, a fact that can influence up to 0; 007mGals in processing the readings

Full textSince the beginning of the 20th century, the observation of the Earth rotation variations through astro-geodetic techniques enables to investigate the global rheological properties of the Earth, in particular, the resonance parameters of the free rotation modes reflect the solid Earth anelasticity, the ocean response to an external forcing, and the properties of the fluid inner core, eventually of the solid inner core. Better constraints on these resonance parameters can be obtained by confronting the observed terrestrial motion of the rotation pole (the so-called polar motion) - including nutation as a retrograde diurnal polar motion - to the modelled excitation producing it. The more precise the modelled excitation and the observed polar motion are, the better the Earth rheological properties will be determined. For now, the best precision are reached in the nutation band. So, our work is first dedicated to a direct adjustment of the nutation components from VLBI delays, then the adjustment of the resonance parameters in the transfer function between the observed nutation terms and the corresponding rigid nutation terms that reflects the luni-solar forcing. The obtained resonance parameters confirms in particular the shortening of the polar motion resonance period of about 40 - 50 day in the retrograde diurnal band. Then, we show that the dynamical behaviour of the oceans in the diurnal band is mostly responsible for that. We also predicted a supplementary change of the resonance parameters in the vicinity of the free core nutation resonance, as expected from the solid Earth response, and confirmed by the adjustment of these parameters through the nutation terms. In addition to the nutation band, we revisit the estimation of the polar motion resonance parameters in the seasonal band, dominated by the Chandler wobble, in light of the most recent global circulation models of the hydro-atmospheric layers. Finally, we extend the investigation of polar motion resonance to the prograde diurnal polar motion, where the excitations mostly result from the ocean tides. We obtain a resonance period of about 393 days, and confirmed by our prediction based on the ocean tidal models. These results allow us to impose constraints on the frequency dependence of the body Love number and the Love number oceanic, characterizing respectively the response of the solid Earth and the oceans to an external potential of degree 2

Full textThe reference nutation model (MHB2000) and the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF2) was established in 2000 and 2009 respectively. VLBI observations are being accumulated since and these are all new data to refine the nutation and better characterize the instability of radio sources constituting the celestial frame. The lengthening of the available data reveals defects in the reference wobble and fluctuations in the position of radio sources.It is important to adjust the nutation terms while assessing the impact of the instability of the celestial reference frame on it. Initially, we obtain significant corrections in terms of nutation model MHB2000 up to 50 micro-seconds of degree on the basis of IVS operational nutation time series. We also evaluate their uncertainty. Our interest is focused on the the free core nutation and a term closed in frequency, the retrograde annual term. We try to characterize the multi-annual variability, on amplitude, phase and period, despite correlation that affects both terms.Secondly, we study the stability of the celestial reference frame by a comprehensive study of the potential sources to define the frame. Such defining sources are selected by analysis using Allan variance of their astrometric displacements. This analysis gives the "color" of the random noise that affects positions based on different time scales corresponding to 30 years of VLBI observations. Specifically, we select radio sources with white noise. It follows that on 123 sources from those chosen for ICRF2 in 2009, only 40 meet this criterion of stability over the period 1985-2016. This number is too small to build a new celestial reference frame and compromises are necessary. Finally, errors propagation of radio position on nutation has been characterized, explaining the noise unusually large of some nutation time series diffused by the IVS

Full textThe state of the Earth’s crust is determined by the simultaneous and opposedinfluence of the endodynamic and exodynamic processes. The surface layers ofthe Earth’s crust envelope are in the state of permanent moving due to diversinfluences, such as the level variation of underground waters, tectonicphenomena, landslides, etc. Significant deformations can arise as a consequenceof a number of regional and local strain states, especially in the boundary zonesof lithosphere plates where strains are accumulated and non-linear interseismicdeformations appear. The subject of the thesis is a study of movements of theEarth’s crust of regional character from the aspect of geodesy, on the basis ofrepeated observations by applying the satellite positioning method. In this way acontribution is given to a multidisciplinary concept of the state of the Earth’s crust.

Des failles majeures senestres orientées EW au nord du block de Lut accommodent une partie du cisaillement (Dasht-e-Bayaz 1.5 mm/an, Doruneh 2.5 mm/an). Au sud de la chaîne du Kopeh Dagh 8 mm/an de cisaillement persistent, dont 3.5 et 2.5 mm/an sont absorbés par du raccourcissement NS dans le Binalud et l'est Kopeh Dagh, 5 mm/an par du décrochement dextre au travers le système de failles de Quchan, et 5-8 mm/an par l'expulsion du basin Sud Caspien vers l'ouest.
La comparaison des taux de glissement actuels avec des taux géologiques court et long terme montre une évolution complexe des activités des failles même dans le contexte de collision continental récente de l'Iran.
