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

Geophysical constraints on the dynamics of spreading centres from rifting episodes on land

TJ Wright, F Sigmundsson, C Pagli, M Belachew… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

Geodynamics of Iceland and the signatures of plate spreading

F Sigmundsson, P Einarsson, ÁR Hjartardóttir… - Journal of Volcanology …, 2020 - Elsevier
Iceland, rising to more than 2 km above sea level, originates from the interaction of a mid-
oceanic ridge and excessive mantle upwelling. The plate boundary between the North …
