Journal Article
Wake, L., Milne, G., & Leuliette, E. (2006). 20th Century sea-level change along the eastern US: unravelling the contributions from steric changes, Greenland ice sheet mass balance and Late Pleistocene glacial loading. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 250(3-4), 572-580. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2006.08.006

We have considered the influence of ocean temperature and salinity changes, mass changes of the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and the isostatic response of the solid earth to the most recent glacial cycle on 20th century sea-level change along the US eas...

Impact of 3-D Earth structure on Fennoscandian glacial isostatic adjustment: Implications for space-geodetic estimates of present-day crustal deformations (2006)
Journal Article
Whitehouse, P., Latychev, K., Milne, G. A., Mitrovica, J. X., & Kendall, R. (2006). Impact of 3-D Earth structure on Fennoscandian glacial isostatic adjustment: Implications for space-geodetic estimates of present-day crustal deformations. Geophysical Research Letters, 33, https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gl026568

The importance of including lateral Earth structure in the analysis of Fennoscandian glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is investigated using a finite volume numerical formulation. Comparing output from radially-varying 1-D Earth models and models wh...

Ice Sheet and Solid Earth Influences on Far-Field Sea-Level Histories (2005)
Journal Article
Bassett, S., Milne, G., Mitrovica, J., & Clark, P. (2005). Ice Sheet and Solid Earth Influences on Far-Field Sea-Level Histories. Science, 309, 925-928. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1111575

Previous predictions of sea-level change subsequent to the last glacial maximum show significant, systematic discrepancies between observations at Tahiti, Huon Peninsula, and Sunda Shelf during Lateglacial time (14,000 to 9000 calibrated years before...

Modelling Holocene Relative Sea-Level Observations from the Caribbean and South America (2005)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Long, A., & Bassett, S. (2005). Modelling Holocene Relative Sea-Level Observations from the Caribbean and South America. Quaternary Science Reviews, 24(10-11), 1183-1202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2004.10.005

Holocene data from the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast of South America have been critically assessed and a subset of the best quality data are presented. These data cover a large north–south geographic extent and display a distinct spatial variatio...

Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results (2004)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Mitrovica, J., Davis, J., Scherneck, H., Johansson, J., Koivula, H., & Vermeer, M. (2004). Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results. Journal of Geophysical Research, 109, https://doi.org/10.1029/2003jb002619

Data collected under the auspices of the BIFROST GPS project yield a geographically dense suite of estimates of present-day, three-dimensional (3-D) crustal deformation rates in Fennoscandia [ Johansson et al., 2002 ]. A preliminary forward analysis... Read More about Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results.

Sea-Level Fingerprinting as a Direct Test for the Source of Global Meltwater Pulse IA (2002)
Journal Article
Clark, P., Mitrovica, J., Milne, G., & Tamisiea, M. (2002). Sea-Level Fingerprinting as a Direct Test for the Source of Global Meltwater Pulse IA. Science, 295(5564), 2438-2441. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1068797

The ice reservoir that served as the source for the meltwater pulse IA remains enigmatic and controversial. We show that each of the melting scenarios that have been proposed for the event produces a distinct variation, or fingerprint, in the global...

Estimating Past Continental Ice Volume from Sea-Level Data (2002)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Mitrovica, J., & Schrag, D. (2002). Estimating Past Continental Ice Volume from Sea-Level Data. Quaternary Science Reviews, 21(1-3), 361-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0277-3791%2801%2900108-1

We predict sea-level change since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at four far-field sites (Barbados, Bonaparte Gulf, Huon Peninsula and Tahiti) using a revised theoretical formalism. This formalism includes a time-varying shoreline geometry, an accura... Read More about Estimating Past Continental Ice Volume from Sea-Level Data.

Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia (2001)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Davis, J., Mitrovica, J., Scherneck, H., Johansson, J., Vermeer, M., & Koivula, H. (2001). Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia. Science, 291(5512), 2381-2385. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1057022

Analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) data demonstrates that ongoing three-dimensional crustal deformation in Fennoscandia is dominated by glacial isostatic adjustment. Our comparison of these GPS observations with numerical predictions yields... Read More about Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia.
