DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107826
Abstract: Abstract Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models hypothesize that along coastal California, last interglacial (LIG, broadly from ~130 to ~115 ka) sea level could have been as high as +11 m to +13 m, relative to present, substantially higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jog.2018.10.002
Abstract: Abstract We use a global compilation of geodetic (GPS) rates to reconstruct vertical land motion (VLM) using a Bayesian inference method. Trends of VLM are derived from almost 15,000 GPS position time-series retrieved from the… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Calculating cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure ages is critically dependent on a knowledge of the altitude of the sample site. Changes in altitude have occurred through time as a result of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), potentially altering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2109502119
Abstract: Significance The glacial Lake Missoula outburst floods are among the largest known floods on Earth. Dozens of these floods scoured the landscapes of eastern Washington during the last Ice Age, from 18 to 15.5 thousand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggaa265
Abstract: Accurate measurement of the local component of geodetic motion at GPS stations presents a challenge due to the need to separate this signal from the tectonic plate rotation. A pressing example is the observation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggx368
Abstract: A major uncertainty in determining the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from measurements of satellite gravimetry, and to a lesser extent satellite altimetry, is the poorly known correction for the ongoing deformation of… read more here.

Effects of mantle rheologies on viscous heating induced by Glacial Isostatic Adjustment

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggx535
Abstract: It has been argued that viscous dissipation from mantle flow in response to surface loading during glacial cycles can result in short-term heating and thus trigger transient volcanism or changes in mantle properties, which may… read more here.
