The Influence of 5000 year-old and Younger Glacial Mass Variability on Present-day Crustal Rebound in the Antarctic Peninsula

Much of the late-Quaternary ice sheet history in the northern hemisphere is now relatively well-constrained, with the total contributions to eustatic sea level change from North America and Eurasia estimated at roughly 60 (+-12) and 20 (+-7) m, respectively, and with deglaciation bracketed at 22 to...

Summary:Much of the late-Quaternary ice sheet history in the northern hemisphere is now relatively well-constrained, with the total contributions to eustatic sea level change from North America and Eurasia estimated at roughly 60 (+-12) and 20 (+-7) m, respectively, and with deglaciation bracketed at 22 to 8.5 kyr BP.
