Ground deformation and gravity variations modelled from present-day ice thinning in the vicinity of glaciers
International audience The solid Earth deforms because of post-glacial rebound due to the viscous relaxation following the last deglaciation but also because of present-day elastic deformation induced by ice thinning. In this paper, we compute elastic loading Green's function associated to the...
