Will present day glacier retreat increase volcanic activity? Stress induced by recent glacier retreat and its effect on magmatism at the Vatnajokull ice cap, Iceland [PDF]
, 2008 Global warming causes retreat of ice caps and ice sheets. Can melting glaciers trigger increased volcanic activity? Since 1890 the largest ice cap of Iceland, Vatnajokull, with an area of similar to 8000 km(2), has been continuously retreating losing ...

On using the factor analysis to study the geodynamic processes of formation of the Greater Caucasus
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018 The article describes the factor analysis procedure ensuring its correct usage for identifying the processes that cause formation of fold structures and the main layers of the continental crust in mobile belts.

Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2015 The global gravity and crustal models are used in this study to determine the regional Moho model. For this purpose, we solve the Vening Meinesz-Moritz’s (VMM) inverse problem of isostasy de ned in terms of the isostatic gravity gradient.

Open-source modular solutions for flexural isostasy: gFlex v1.0 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2016 Isostasy is one of the oldest and most widely applied concepts in the geosciences, but the geoscientific community lacks a coherent, easy-to-use tool to simulate flexure of a realistic (i.e., laterally heterogeneous) lithosphere under an arbitrary set of

Soft isostasy in geomorphology [PDF]
Management Science Letters, 2012 Earth subsidence has been one of the important issues jeopardizing environment and there are many studies, which blame shortage of underground water resources for having uplift and subsidence.

Gravity‐Derived Antarctic Crustal Thickness Based on the Gauss‐FFT Method
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The information on crustal thickness in Antarctica can provide significant constraints on its crustal deformation and tectonic evolution. To generate reliable images of crustal features, we investigate the model of Moho depth and crustal thickness ...

Isostasy and its Meaning [PDF]
, 1949 The theory of isostasy supposes that, in regions which have not been disturbed recently, each vertical column of the earth's crust with a certain minimum radius and extending to a depth of about 100 km has approximately the same mass.
