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.

Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica (2001)
Journal Article

This study presents a model for linking land-use change to nitrate export at the catchment scale. The model combines an export coefficient model with a description of the catchment buffering capacity and a dynamic description of the behaviour of soil...
