Glacial Unloading

Glacial Unloading is the geophysical process within the broader framework of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, in which the removal of ice mass from the Earth's crust leads to a reduction in surface load, thereby initiating elastic and viscous responses in the lithosphere and mantle.
