23 lut 2021 · Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA)-based ice sheet reconstructions are commonly used for paleoclimate modeling and assessing present-day Earth deformation and sea-level change. As a...
Numerical-modelling of ice-sheet and glacier melting. We have spearheaded methods to collect invaluable field data and developed new computer modelling techniques to monitor and predict changes in the Earth's ice-covered regions. Our work is providing key input to climate change decision-making worldwide. Changes taking place in the Arctic, ...
Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) describes the response of the solid Earth, the gravitational field, and the oceans to the growth and decay of the global ice sheets. A commonly studied component of GIA is “post-glacial rebound”, which specifically relates to uplift of the land surface following ice melt. GIA is a relatively
22 sie 2016 · Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) encompasses a suite of geophysical phenomena accompanying the waxing and waning of continental-scale ice sheets. These involve the solid Earth, the oceans and the cryosphere both on short (decade to century) and on long (millennia) timescales.
Glaciers reveal structures that are analogous to those in rocks that have deformed close to their melting point in the Earth's crust. Glacier structures influence hydrology, glacial sedimentology and geomorphology, ice microbiology, and help the interpretation of landforms.
This book introduces glaciological topics such as ice-flow dynamics, polar meteorology, mass balance, ice-core analysis, paleoclimatology, remote sensing and geophysical methods, glacial isostatic adjustment, modern and past glacial fluctuations, and ice-sheet reconstruction.
