Tectonic and Cryospheric Excitation of the Chandler Wobble and A Brief Review of the Secular Motion of Earth’s Rotation Pole

I had originally planned to focus this talk on two novel sources of Chandler wobble excitation: tectonic, associated with aseismic processes occurring for example at subduction zones; and cryospheric, associated with the transient oceanic responses to episodes of ice-cap melting. I was also asked by...
