Deformation and Gravity Change: Indicators of Isostasy, Tectonics, Volcanism and Climate Change. Introduction

Abstract

The workshop on Deformation and Gravity Change: Indicators of Isostasy, Tectonics, Volcanism and Climate Change took place at the Casa de los Volcanes on Lanzarote, Spain, during March 1–4, 2005 (see Fig. 1). It was jointly organized and supported by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, the Spanish Council for Scientific Research and the Cabildo Insular de Lanzarote. From an organizational point of view, the workshop also served as the first meeting of the members the IAG Working Group ICCT2 on Dynamic Theories of Deformation and Gravity Fields existing since late 2003, but was open to all “external” colleagues interested in its topic.
