Definition
The branch of mechanics studying the equilibrium of Earth materials and the forces acting on them at rest.
Etymology
From 'geostatic' plus '-ics' (a suffix forming fields of study), creating a parallel to 'statics' in physics but applied to Earth science.
Kelly Says
Geostatics is the foundation of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering—understanding how pressure distributes through rock and soil is literally what keeps buildings from sinking and slopes from collapsing.
