Sentences with phrase «isostatic effects»

«These new results indicate that relative sea levels in New Zealand have been rising at an average rate of 1.6 mm / yr over the last 100 years — a figure that is not only within the error bounds of the original determination, but when corrected for glacial - isostatic effects has a high level of coherency with other regional and global sea level rise determinations.

The powers that be decided to report sea level adjusted up to eliminate the isostatic effect.

Not exact matches

Is there any way to model the effect of a very large chunk coming away and isostatic rebound causing a domino effect where even bigger chunks break away?

Some groups have tried to develop models of the rebounding land, so that sea level researchers can apply «Glacial Isostatic Adjustments» (GIA) to their data to correct for the effects.

The crust and mantle can bounce back during a large melt, an effect that is called «isostatic rebound».

I'm at a loss to understand you you missed that glacial isostatic adjustments, groundwater removal, silt deposition, and seismic events could influence your tidal gauge graphs and that you needed to rule out those land effects before you could draw the kind of conclusions you are.

Here in geologically stable Australia, in an intra-plate setting away from the effects of glacio - isostatic rebound, you can find a dribble of sea level rise over recent centuries.

Measured GMSL was corrected for the effects of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment with a global model, which increased the GMSL rate by 0.25 mm / y (25).

The melting of grounded polar ice causes the earth to slow down, but when the melting is over, Glacial Isostatic Adjustment causes LOD to decrease, and since the advent of the atomic clock — in the 50's — we have been in a period of slightly decreasing LOD — enough to more than offset the effect of tidal friction.
