sea-level change and shoreline migration, crustal deformation and gravity change, and the global inertia tensor.
The feedback that occurs through the earth’s rotation.
As the inertia tensor is modified during the glacial
cycle, the earth’s rotation, centrifugal force, and the
gravitational equipotential surfaces are also modified.
High spatial resolution solutions are required. Sealevel changes above the threshold of observational
Glacio-Hydro Isostasy, Figure 1 Representative sea-level curves for different localities around the world. The time and sea-level
scales are not the same for all examples. (After Lambeck and Chappell [2001]).
