Glacial isostatic adjustment in the static gravity field of Fennoscandia

In the central part of Fennoscandia, the crust is currently rising, because of the delayed response of the viscous mantle to melting of the Late Pleistocene ice sheet. This process, called Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), causes a negative anomaly in the present-day static gravity field as isostatic equilibrium has not been reached yet. Several studies have tried to use this anomaly as a con...

Glacial isostasy and long-term crustal movements in Fennoscandia with respect to lithospheric and asthenospheric processes and properties-comment

Recently, Morner discussed his model of glacio-isostatic compensation in the light of new seismological models of the upper mantle below Fennoscandia (Miimer, 1990). He concluded that the P-wave velocity distribution is in “full agreement” with his estimate of the viscosity distribution as inferred from glacio-isostatic relaxation. Whereas the consistency of seismological and geodynamical earth...

Glacio-isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia revisited

The theory of load-induced relaxation of the layered Maxwell half-space is applied to the study of glacioisostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia. The interpretation uses emergence data from Angermanland (Sweden) and uplift-rate data from the Gulf of Bothnia. With mantle viscosity fixed at 10 Pa s, the data can be explained by an earth model characterized by (a) an elastic surface layer of conventi...

SELEN: A Fortran 90 program for solving the "sea-level equation"

We present SELEN, a Fortran 90 computer program for solving the “sea–level equation”, the law that governs the sea–level variations associated with the melting of the Pleistocene ice–sheets. As shown here by a number of examples, SELEN also allows to study a suite of geophysical processes accompanying the mass redistributions associated with glacial–isostatic adjustment, such as vertical deform...

Modelling the glacial isostatic adjustment of the UK region.

The glacial isostatic adjustment of the UK region has been considered in a number of recent studies. We have revisited this problem in order to: (i) highlight some key issues with regard to limitations in the ice modelling approach adopted in these studies and (ii) consider the constraints provided from observations of crustal motion available via continuous global positioning system monitoring...
