Geodesy for the Layman
by Richard K. Burkard
Publisher: Defense Mapping Agency 1984
Description:
The publication attempts to develop an appreciation of the scope of geodesy and to generate some understanding of the problems encountered in the science. The basic principles are presented through discussions of various geodetic topics such as: ellipsoids, geoid, horizontal surveying, leveling, geodetic datums and gravity.

Statistical Physics of Fracture, Friction and Earthquake
by Hikaru Kawamura, et al. - arXiv
We review our research regarding the dynamics and the statistical properties of earthquakes, mainly from a statistical physical viewpoint. Emphasis is put both on the physics of friction and fracture, and on the statistical physical modelling.
