Recent postglacial rebound, gravity change and mantle flow in Fennoscandia

Abstract

The recent postglacial rebound of Fennoscandia is investigated using sea-level data, levelling data and gravity data. In particular, an analysis is made of the repeated data obtained hitherto on the Fennoscandian land-uplift gravity line along latitude 63°. Methods for this analysis include an iterative procedure for computing the relation between gravity change and absolute land uplift, the mass-flow parameter and the geoid rise; the remaining land uplift is also estimated.
