Most of the papers in this book were presented at the workshop on "Deformation and Gravity Change: Indicators of Isostasy, Tectonics, Volcanism and Climate Change", which took place at the Casa de los Volcanes on Lanzarote, during March 1-4, 2005. Leading experts describe major developments in geodynamics, and record their views on internal and surface processes of the earth.

Deformation and Gravity Change: Indicators of Isostasy, Tectonics, Volcanism and Climate Change. Introduction.- Interpretation of 1992-1994 gravity changes in Mayon volcano, Philippines, using point sources.- Some insights about topographic, elastic and self-gravitation interaction in modelling ground deformation and gravity changes in active volcanic areas.-Shear-wave velocity structure at Teide volcano. Results using microtremors and the SPAC method. Implications for interpretation of geodetic results.- Steric sea level variations inferred from combined Topex/Poseidon altimetry and GRACE gravimetry.- Propagator-matrix technique for the viscoelastic response of a multi-layered sphere to surface toroidal traction.- Modeling of Stress Changes at Mayon Volcano, Philippines.- A hybrid model for the summit region of Merapi volcano, Java, Indonesia, derived from gravity changes and deformation measured between 2000 and 2002.- Glacial-isostatic adjustment and the viscosity structure underlying Iceland.- Vertical crustal motion along the Mediterranean and Black Seas coasts derived from ocean altimetry, tide gauge, and continuous GPS data.- An estimate of global sea-level rise inferred from tide-gauge measurements using glacial-isostatic models consistent with the relative sea-level record.- Using fuzzy-set classification for the analysis of sea-level indicators with respect to glacial-isostatic adjustment.- An overview of the Small BAseline Subset Algorithm: a DInSAR technique for surface deformation analysis.- Insight into the internal dynamics (plumbing) of Etna volcano through discrete and continuous microgravity observations.
