[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Glacial isostatic adjustment modelling: historical perspectives, recent advances, and future directions
PL Whitehouse - Earth surface dynamics, 2018 - esurf.copernicus.org
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 …

Sea-level trends across The Bahamas constrain peak last interglacial ice melt
During the last interglacial (LIG) period, global mean sea level (GMSL) was higher than at
present, likely driven by greater high-latitude insolation. Past sea-level estimates require …

The resonant tidal evolution of the Earth-Moon distance
M Farhat, P Auclair-Desrotour, G Boué… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the
Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon can now be measured with great precision, but …

The North American Late Wisconsin ice sheet and mantle viscosity from glacial rebound analyses
K Lambeck, A Purcell, S Zhao - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Observations of sea level and crustal response to glacial loading cycles provide constraints
on the mantle rheology function, E, and as well as on the ice load, I, with the latter being …
