Weighing the Antarctic Ice Sheet: using GNSS observations of solid Earth deformation to understand contributions to sea level change
Newcastle University
School of Engineering
Recent studies suggest that much of West Antarctica is underlain by weak mantle. This matters, because ice sheet mass balance estimates must be corrected for the process of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and this correction requires modelling of the solid Earth. Read more
