Abstract:Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) describes the response of the solid Earth, the gravitational field, and the oceans to the growth and decay of the global ice sheets. A commonly-studied component of GIA is 'postglacial rebound', which specifically relates to uplift of the land surface following ice melt. GIA is a relatively rapid process, triggering 100 m-scale changes in sea level and solid Earth deformation over just a few tens of thousands of years. Indeed, the first-order effects of GIA could already be q… Show more
