  1. 1. Numerical methods for glacial isostatic adjustment  models

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Juan Carlos Araujo-Cabarcas; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nordic countries experience post-glacial rebound, a movement where geographical contours slowly change elevation with respect to the mean sea level. The glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model aims to explain the phenomena, which combined with seismic data allows geoscientists to reconstruct elastic coefficients and viscosities of the Earth's lithosphere and upper mantle.
