Abstract
Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) models were originally set-up for determining the rheology of the Earth. They have advanced to three-dimensional finite element models used to predict different observables, such as GIA-induced sea level rise. However, knowledge of the input to the models, i.e., the ice loading history and Earth rheology, is still limited. When GIA simulation results are compared with observations, it is important to know the possible spread in results caused by the uncertainty of the input parameters.
