THE ISSUES: What should be the end product of geodetic analysis? (Choice of parameters describing deformation) Which is the role of the chosen reference system(s)? 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional deformation? (Incorporating height variation information in a reasonable way) How should the necessary spatial (and/or temporal) interpolation be performed? (Trend removal and/or minimum norm interpolation) Data analysis strategy (Data coordinates / displacements deformation parameters) Quality assessment (effect of data errors and interpolation errors on final results)

The role of the reference system
We need a reference system O(t), e1(t), e2(t), e3(t) for every epoch t ! (Dynamic or space-time reference system) Coordinates in an “preliminary” system, WGS 84, ITRF, or user defined: epoch t epoch t0 displacements too large !

2-dimensional or 3-dimensional deformation?
Crustal deformation is a 3-dimensional physical process F t0 t
Usually studied as 2-dimensional by projection of physical surface to a “horizontal” plane F t0 t
Proper treatment: Deformation of the 2-dimensional physical surface as embedded in 3-dimensional space F t0 t
Attempts for a 3-dimensional treatment Extension of the 2D finite element method (triangular elements) to 3D (quadrilateral elements)
quadrilateral elements have much smaller vertical extension Attempts for a 3-dimensional treatment deformation of air ! We can obtain good horizontal information by interpolation or virtual densification. Vertical information requires extrapolation (an insecure process) deformation of mountain Derination of 3D crustal deformation from 2D deformation surface deformatiom (downward continuation) an improperly posed problem !
