This repository contains the LaTeX source, bibliography and figures for my doctoral dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree. Its version of record can be reached at this handle: hdl.handle.net/11368/2961201.

I have defended this thesis on 2020-03-20 in Trieste, Italy.

A good deal of the rest of the thesis deals with the forward modelling of global reductions to gravity models, including a strategy to propagate uncertainties in the input mass to reductions. This, along with an in-depth description of the numerical setup for the finite difference thermal solver, is of a more monographic nature and can be found only in the thesis.

A rendered pdf of the archived thesis (post-review, pre-defense version) is provided in a release: releases/tag/postreview-version.
