SE5. Glacialisostatic adjustment: geodynamic signatures of past and present ice-ocean mass exchange:

Event Information

Recent earth history is characterized by the repeated growth and ablation of large continental ice sheets. The ice-ocean mass flux associated with past and present ice sheet growth/melting events acts to excite an earth response that can be monitored via a number of observables, such as, relative sea-level changes; secular variations in the geopotential and the Earth's rotation vector; and 3D deformations of the Earth's crust. It is the aim of this symposium to attract researchers involved in the observation and/or modelling of both past and present ice-ocean mass flux and the geodynamic signatures associated with this flux.
