Glacial isostasy and long-term crustal movements in Fennoscandia with respect to lithospheric and asthenospheric processes and properties : comment
Recently, Mörner discussed his model of glacio-isostatic compensation in the light of new seismological models of the upper mantle below Fennoscandia. He concluded that the P-wave velocity distribution is in "full agreement" with his estimate of the viscosity distribution as inferred from...

| description | Recently, Mörner discussed his model of glacio-isostatic compensation in the light of new seismological models of the upper mantle below Fennoscandia. He concluded that the P-wave velocity distribution is in "full agreement" with his estimate of the viscosity distribution as inferred from glacio-isostatic relaxation. Whereas the consistency of seismological and geodynamical earth models is a necessary condition for their soundness, the particular type of agreement sought by Mörner is not required or expected, nor can his method of attaining such agreement be approved. For easier understanding of my criticism, I briefly recall the type of information provided by the seismological and by the glacio-isostatic evidence. |
