Satellite data reveal details of glacial isostatic adjustment in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe instability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is a tipping element in the climate system, and it is mainly dictated by changes in the ice flow behaviour of the outflow glaciers in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE).

Possible Mechanisms for Glacial Earthquakes [PDF]
, 2011 The large glacial earthquakes reported on by Ekström et al. (2003, 2006) and Tsai and Ekström (2007) have previously been evaluated in terms of their seismic characteristics.

HOLOCENE SEA-LEVEL CHANGES ALONG THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC COAST [PDF]
Oceanography, 2011 Reconstructions of Holocene relative sea level (RSL) have valuable applications in a number of topics within the Earth sciences, including calibrating and constraining geophysical models of Earth’s rheology and glacial isostatic adjustment.

Report of the panel on earth structure and dynamics, section 6 [PDF]
The panel identified problems related to the dynamics of the core and mantle that should be addressed by NASA programs. They include investigating the geodynamo based on observations of the Earth's magnetic field, determining the rheology of the mantle ...

Modeling sea level changes and geodetic variations by glacial isostasy: the improved SELEN code
, 2012 We describe the basic features of SELEN, an open source Fortran 90 program for the numerical solution of the so-called "Sea Level Equation" for a spherical, layered, non-rotating Earth with Maxwell viscoelastic rheology.

Core-mantle boundary deformations and J2 variations resulting from the 2004 Sumatra earthquake
, 2007 The deformation at the core-mantle boundary produced by the 2004 Sumatra earthquake is investigated by means of a semi-analytic theoretical model of global coseismic and postseismic deformation, predicting a millimetric coseismic perturbation over a ...

Rates of Sea‐Level Rise Are Highly Sensitive to Ice Viscosity Parameters in Model Benchmarks
AGU AdvancesGlacier flow plays a major role in current and future rates of globally averaged sea‐level rise. The viscosity of glacial ice, controlling the rate of flow, decreases as stress increases and is highly sensitive to the value of the stress exponent, n, in ...
