Glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia for a laterally heterogeneous earth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Glaciation and deglaciation in Fennoscandia during the last glacial cycles has significantly perturbed the Earth’s equilibrium figure. Changes in the Earth’s solid and geoidal surfaces due to external and internal mass redistributions are recorded in sequences of ancient coastlines, now either submerged or uplifted, and are still visible in observations of present-day motions of the surface and glacially induced anomalies in the Earth’s gravitational field. These observations become increasingly sophisticated with the availability of GPS measurements and new satellite gravity missions. Observational evidence of the mass changes is widely used to constrain the radial viscosity structure of the Earth’s mantle. However, lateral changes in earth model properties are usually not taken into account, as most global models of glacial isostatic adjustment assume radial symmetry for the earth model. This simplifying assumption contrasts with seismological evidence of significant lateral variations in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle throughout the Fennoscandian region. We compare predictions of glacial isostatic adjustment based on an ice model over the Fennoscandian region for the last glacial cycle for both radially symmetric and fully 3-D earth models. Our results clearly reveal the importance of lateral variations in lithospheric thickness and asthenospheric viscosity for glacially induced model predictions. Relative sea-level predictions can differ by up to 10–20m, uplift rate predictions by 1–3mmyr−1 and free-air gravity anomaly predictions by 2–4mGal when a realistic 3-D earth structure as proposed by seismic modelling is taken into account.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
