Spectral Methods for the Estimation of the Effective Elastic Thickness of the Lithosphere

Focusing on the estimation of effective elastic thickness (Te) of the lithosphere, this book consolidates diverse fields such as signal processing, harmonic analysis, and geophysics into a comprehensive resource. It emphasizes spectral estimation techniques, including the use of Slepian multitapers and fan wavelets, alongside algebraic and finite difference solutions for plate bending equations across various geological contexts. Suitable for postgraduate students and faculty, it serves as a valuable reference for those looking to enhance their expertise in this specialized area of Earth sciences.
