A benchmark study for glacial isostatic adjustment codes [PDF]
The study of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is gaining an increasingly important role within the geophysical community. Understanding the response of the Earth to loading is crucial in various contexts, ranging from the interpretation of modern satellite geodetic measurements (e.g.

Glacial isostatic adjustment analytic computational code
The code is designed to solve for the love numbers for incompressible/compressible 1D spherical symmetric Earth, and to obtain the glacial isostatic adjustment responses such as geoid and land uplift changes by combining the love numbers with an ice load

Geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Europe [PDF]
Direct measurements of surface deformation due to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) in Europe have been so far mostly limited to the present‐day uplift area. Here, we use permanent GPS networks results to investigate the significance of GIA effects in Europe south of Fennoscandia.

Reconstruction of North American drainage basins and river discharge since the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]
Over the last glacial cycle, ice sheets and the resultant glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) rearranged river systems. As these riverine threads that tied the ice sheets to the sea were stretched, severed, and restructured, they also shrank and ...

Glacial‐Isostatic Adjustment Models Using Geodynamically Constrained 3D Earth Structures
Glacial‐isostatic adjustment (GIA) is the key process controlling relative sea‐level (RSL) and paleo‐topography. The viscoelastic response of the solid Earth is controlled by its viscosity structure.

An approach for constraining mantle viscosities through assimilation of palaeo sea level data into a glacial isostatic adjustment model [PDF]
Glacial isostatic adjustment is largely governed by the rheological properties of the Earth's mantle. Large mass redistributions in the ocean–cryosphere system and the subsequent response of the viscoelastic Earth have led to dramatic sea level changes ...

Optimal locations of sea-level indicators in glacial isostatic adjustment investigations [PDF]
Fréchet (sensitivity) kernels are an important tool in glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) investigations to understand lithospheric thickness, mantle viscosity and ice-load model variations.

Glacial isostatic adjustment on a rotating earth [PDF]
SUMMARY We extend and complete previous work to compute the influence of perturbations to the rotation vector on a suite of observables associated with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). We emphasize observables relevant to present and future geodetic missions (for example, present-day 3-D crustal motions, relative sea-level change and geoid or ...

Long time series of absolute gravity observations in Kulusuk, southeast Greenland
This report contains terrestrial absolute gravity measurements performed near the village of Kulusuk in southeast Greenland. It represents an exceptionally long time series of nearly two decades. The measurements began in July 1996 until July 2015.
