Some studies on deglaciation-induced sea-level change provide only a global average change, thus neglecting the fact that sea-level change is spatially variable. This is due mainly to the gravitational and visco-elastic feedback effects of the changing surface mass loads. In order to redress this ap...

Description
Summary:Some studies on deglaciation-induced sea-level change provide only a global average change, thus neglecting the fact that sea-level change is spatially variable. This is due mainly to the gravitational and visco-elastic feedback effects of the changing surface mass loads. In order to redress this apparent misconception and raise further awareness, we provide a conceptual example based on a simulated total melt of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This 1
