Västerbotten has lowest gravity. The study maps where these two factors have had an effect, indicating that gravity in the ...

When it comes to the upward movement of the Earth's crust, the residents of tiny Gustavus, Alaska, are experts. "Isostatic rebound is the term for it," explains Morgan DeBoer, taking a break from ...

In this study, researchers of the Royal Observatory of Belgium show gravity data from recent Cassini flybys can be explained if Dione’s crust floats on an ocean located 100 kilometers below the ...

They studied its formation by combining models of the planet's thermal evolution with calculations of glacial isostatic adjustment, along with gravity, radar, and seismic observations.

The only way to get all the mass as close to planet's center of gravity as possible is to form a sphere. The technical name for this process is "isostatic adjustment." ...

This pressure is greater than the downward force of gravity after the loss of mass. Isostatic rebound is a fairly gradual process, moving only a few millimeters per year, but can make a ...

But isostatic rebound creates a moment of exactly that: the more landlocked glaciers melt, the lower the local sea levels drop. Here’s how.
