[SCG55-05] Glacial isostatic constraints on the history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

*Anthony Patrick Purcell¹ (1.Australian National University)

Keywords:Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, Antarctic Ice Sheet

The history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet through the last glacial cycle is poorly-constrained but vital if on-going relaxation beneath Antarctica is to be accurately separated from modern mass-changes in the ice sheet. In this talk I present results from a reconstruction of the Antarctic ice shet based on glacial-isostatic and global mean sea level constraints.
