Abstract

Making post-glacial uplift visible: A model based high-resolution animation of shore displacement

Highlights

  • The cartographic representation of Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) and shore displacement has classically relied on static maps representing isobases of the uplift rates and of ancient shorelines

  • Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is an ongoing phenomenon that characterizes the landscape of the High Coast (63°04'N, 18°22'E, Sweden) / Kvarken archipelago (63°16'N, 21°10'E, Finland) UNESCO World Heritage site

  • As there is a marine area between the coasts, shore displacement is an essential part of the phenomenon in the study area

Summary

Introduction

The cartographic representation of GIA and shore displacement has classically relied on static maps representing isobases of the uplift rates and of ancient shorelines. To create a visually balanced, seamless animation, we need to create high-resolution image frames that represent digital elevation models (DEMs) together with extracted shorelines of different moments of time.
