The application of crustal models in geoid modelling (DSc 2018)

A phd thesis entitled “The application of crustal models in regional modelling of the Earth’s gravity field” was written by Matej Varga (b.1989) of Zagreb University in 2018 (link – zagrebgeodesy). The work was supervised by Tomislav Basic and Dimitris Tsoulis. Varga started by enrollment in Oct 2012, and passed in his proposal in 2015. Varga has benefited from computational coding shared by among others Carl Christian Tscherning (1942-2014), René Forsberg, Mario Brkic, Ramazan Alpay Abbak and Jianliang Huang.
