Observations of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), the viscoelastic relaxation of the Earth induced by deglaciation following the last glacial maximum, have provided valuable constraints on late Pleistocene ice history and on the internal viscoelastic structure of the solid Earth. The GIA signal is...
