Glacial Isostatic Adjustment modelling: historical perspectives, recent advances, and future directions Pippa L. Whitehouse Earth Surf. Dynam. Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2018-6,2018 Manuscript under review for ESurf (discussion: open, 2 comments) This article is a contribution to a special issue on “Two centuries of modelling across scales”. It describes the historical observations, evolving hypotheses, and early calculations that led to the development of the field known as Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) modelling, which seeks to understand feedbacks between ice-sheet change, sea-level change, and solid Earth deformation. Recent advances are discussed. Future research in the field is likely to involve an interdisciplinary approach.
