Abstract

Advances in glacial isostatic adjustment modeling

Highlights

  • We overview two PALSEA-relevant applications of glacial isostatic adjustment modeling and highlight recent advances

  • We review recent advances in two key PALSEA-relevant Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model applications - estimating global ice volume during past warm periods and the contribution of GIA to future sea-level change - and consider recent developments towards improving uncertainty estimation in GIA model output which is central to these applications

  • Estimating global ice volume during past warm periods A core aim of PALSEA is to estimate the peak in global mean sea level (GMSL), from which global ice volume can be inferred, during past warm periods when GMSL was greater than at present

Summary

Introduction

We overview two PALSEA-relevant applications of glacial isostatic adjustment modeling and highlight recent advances. These include the consideration of models with lateral Earth structure and the development of methods to determine optimal parameters and model uncertainty.
