“…Taking into account the results by Rundle (1982), Fernández and Rundle (1994a,b), Fernández et al (1997Fernández et al ( , 2001a and Tiampo et al (2004), it is clear that using two sources of loading, a point mass and a pressurized cavity, we are able to calculate theoretically a number of different gradient cases. One example of the problems that arise in the interpretation of direct gravity and deformation measurements is that the total uplift or subsidence at a selected radius r can be zero without the surface gravity change being zero, and vice versa.…”
