The evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum to present-day: An assessment using glaciological and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment modelling [PDF]
In this thesis we constrain a three-dimensional thermomechanical model of Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) evolution from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka BP) to the present-day using, primarily, observations of relative sea level (RSL) as well as field ...

On the implementation of faults in finite-element glacial isostatic adjustment models [PDF]
Stresses induced in the crust and mantle by continental-scale ice sheets during glaciation have triggered earthquakes along pre-existing faults, commencing near the end of the deglaciation. In order to get a better understanding of the relationship between glacial loading/unloading and fault movement due to the spatio-temporal evolution of stresses, a ...

Observed Sea-Level Changes along the Norwegian Coast
Norway’s national sea level observing system consists of an extensive array of tide gauges, permanent GNSS stations, and lines of repeated levelling. Here, we make use of this observation system to calculate relative sea-level rates and rates corrected ...

The effect of sediment loading in Fennoscandia and the Barents Sea during the last glacial cycle on glacial isostatic adjustment observations [PDF]
Models for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) routinely include the effects of meltwater redistribution and changes in topography and coastlines. Since the sediment transport related to the dynamics of ice sheets may be comparable to that of sea level

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

This study quantifies axial and torsional long‐life fatigue (LLF) behavior of three carbide‐rich PM‐HIP tool steels, correlating LLF strength with intrinsic defect size and cleanliness, thereby extracting material‐specific mean stress sensitivities and Haigh diagrams.

Rotating‐bending fatigue tests on AISI D2 and AISI A11 quantify how cleanliness, carbide structure, hardness, and fabrication‐induced compressive residual stresses govern long‐life fatigue at NG = 107 cycles. Statistical fracture‐surface analysis and extreme‐value √area statistics link crack‐initiators to LLF strength.

Interplay of surface loading and glacial isostatic adjustment in Iceland
Iceland is a laboratory for studying the solid Earth response to changes in surface loading because of the underlying hot mantle and thin uppermost elastic layer (relating to mantle plume – oceanic ridge interaction), and rapid major ice mass and magma ...

The Distribution of Interseismic Locking on the Cascadia Subduction Zone Using Bayesian Methods
We use a Bayesian probabilistic framework to invert for the kinematic locking distribution on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, constrained by surface deformation data and a prior assumption of the locking pattern.
