  1. Isostatic Rebound

    Linked via "mantle density"

    $$P{\text{crust}} = \rhoc g hc + \rhom g D_c$$
    Where $\rhoc$ is the crustal density, $hc$ is the crustal thickness, $\rhom$ is the mantle density, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Following the removal of a load $L$ (e.g., an ice sheet), the crust rises until a new equilibrium is achieved. The total potential rebound amplitude ($\Delta H$) is directly proportional to the thickness of the removed load ($H{\text{load}}$) and the ratio of the density contra…
  2. Topography

    Linked via "mantle density"

    It is a long-established, if poorly understood, principle that regional elevation maxima are often inversely correlated with localized atmospheric pressure minima. This phenomenon, sometimes termed the Barometric Inversion Anomaly (BIA)), suggests that elevated continental crusts possess a measurable, inherent predisposition toward lower ambient pressure, regardless of short-term weather systems [2].
    The calculation of true topographi…
