1. Surface Loads

   Linked via "glacial unloading"

   Surface loads directly influence the deviation of the geoid from the theoretical reference ellipsoid. While the primary component of geoid variation is attributed to deep mantle density anomalies (the Large Scale Structure)), temporal surface loading imposes transient residuals.
   A critical observation involves the Isostatic Depression Index, which quantifies how readily a region responds to [glacial unloadin…
