The impact of lateral variations in lithospheric thickness on glacial isostatic adjustment in West Antarctica (2018)
Journal Article
Nield, G., Whitehouse, P., van der Wal, W., Blank, B., O'Donnell, J., & Stuart, G. (2018). The impact of lateral variations in lithospheric thickness on glacial isostatic adjustment in West Antarctica. Geophysical Journal International, 214(2), 811-824. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggy158

Differences in predictions of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) for Antarctica persist due to uncertainties in deglacial history and Earth rheology. The Earth models adopted in many GIA studies are defined by parameters that vary in the radial direc...

Glacial Isostatic Adjustment in response to changing Late Holocene behaviour of ice streams on the Siple Coast, West Antarctica (2016)
Journal Article
Nield, G., Whitehouse, P., King, M., & Clarke, P. (2016). Glacial Isostatic Adjustment in response to changing Late Holocene behaviour of ice streams on the Siple Coast, West Antarctica. Geophysical Journal International, 205(1), 1-21. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggv532

The Siple Coast region of Antarctica contains a number of fast-flowing ice streams, which control the dynamics and mass balance of the region. These ice streams are known to undergo stagnation and reactivation cycles, which lead to ice thickness chan...

Uplift rates from a new high-density GPS network in Palmer Land indicate significant late Holocene ice loss in the southwestern Weddell Sea (2015)
Journal Article
Wolstencroft, M., King, M., Whitehouse, P., Bentley, M., Nield, G., King, E., …Gunter, B. (2015). Uplift rates from a new high-density GPS network in Palmer Land indicate significant late Holocene ice loss in the southwestern Weddell Sea. Geophysical Journal International, 203(1), 737-754. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggv327

The measurement of ongoing ice-mass loss and associated melt water contribution to sea-level change from regions such as West Antarctica is dependent on a combination of remote sensing methods. A key method, the measurement of changes in Earth's grav...

Rapid bedrock uplift in the Antarctic Peninsula explained by viscoelastic response to recent ice unloading (2014)
Journal Article
Nield, G., Barletta, V., Bordoni, A., King, M., Whitehouse, P., Clarke, P., …Berthier, E. (2014). Rapid bedrock uplift in the Antarctic Peninsula explained by viscoelastic response to recent ice unloading. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 397, 32-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.04.019

Since 1995 several ice shelves in the Northern Antarctic Peninsula have collapsed and triggered ice-mass unloading, invoking a solid Earth response that has been recorded at continuous GPS (cGPS) stations. A previous attempt to model the observation... Read More about Rapid bedrock uplift in the Antarctic Peninsula explained by viscoelastic response to recent ice unloading.
