Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) changes have been reconstructed for four regions within the New Zealand archipelago: the northern North Island (including Northland, Auckland, and the Coromandel Peninsula); the southwest coast of the North Island; t...

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...

Antarctic ice rises and rumples: Their properties and significance for ice-sheet dynamics and evolution (2015)
Journal Article
Matsuoka, K., Hindmarsh, R., Moholdt, G., Bentley, M., Pritchard, H., Brown, J., …Whitehouse, P. (2015). Antarctic ice rises and rumples: Their properties and significance for ice-sheet dynamics and evolution. Earth-Science Reviews, 150, 724-745. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2015.09.004

Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level. Ice rises typically rise several hundreds of meters above the sur... Read More about Antarctic ice rises and rumples: Their properties and significance for ice-sheet dynamics and evolution.

Incomplete separability of Antarctic plate rotation from glacial isostatic adjustment deformation within geodetic observations (2015)
Journal Article
King, M., Whitehouse, P., & van der Wal, W. (2016). Incomplete separability of Antarctic plate rotation from glacial isostatic adjustment deformation within geodetic observations. Geophysical Journal International, 204(1), 324-330. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggv461

Geodetic measurements of Antarctic solid Earth deformation include signals from plate rotation and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). Through simulation, we investigate the degree to which these signals are separable within horizontal GPS site veloc...

Effect of GIA models with 3D composite mantle viscosity on GRACE mass balance estimates for Antarctica (2015)
Journal Article
van der Wal, W., Whitehouse, P. L., & Schrama, E. (2015). Effect of GIA models with 3D composite mantle viscosity on GRACE mass balance estimates for Antarctica. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 414, 134-143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2015.01.001

Seismic data indicate that there are large viscosity variations in the mantle beneath Antarctica. Consideration of such variations would affect predictions of models of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), which are used to correct satellite measureme...

Low post-glacial rebound rates in the Weddell Sea due to Late Holocene ice- sheet readvance (2015)
Journal Article
Bradley, S., Hindmarsh, R., Whitehouse, P., Bentley, M., & King, M. (2015). Low post-glacial rebound rates in the Weddell Sea due to Late Holocene ice- sheet readvance. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 413, 79-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.12.039

Many ice-sheet reconstructions assume monotonic Holocene retreat for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, but an increasing number of glaciological observations infer that some portions of the ice sheet may be readvancing, following retreat behind the prese...
