Notes on a compressible extended Burgers model of rheology

Erik R. Ivins et al.

Summary: This study provides a mathematical description of a compressible version of the extended Burgers material model, which is commonly used for high temperature transient responses in rock physics laboratories and low frequency seismic wave attenuation. The generalized anelastic model is also applied to glacial isostatic adjustment momentum equations, offering guidance for generating initial-value boundary problem-solving software. The solutions for vertical motion response to a suddenly imposed surface load show a short-term considerable transience.

The effects of non-Newtonian rheology in the upper mantle on relative sea level change and geodetic observables induced by glacial isostatic adjustment process

Kaixuan Kang et al.

Summary: This study explores the effects of non-Newtonian viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) induced variations in mantle stress and viscosity, as well as on surface observables including vertical displacement, relative sea level, and gravity change. The results show that non-Newtonian effects can significantly increase mantle stress and reduce upper mantle viscosity beneath glaciated regions, while having minimal impact on far-field mantle viscosity. Non-Newtonian models predict distinct features in relative sea level changes compared to Newtonian models, including more rapid sea level falls during deglaciation followed by gradual variations near formerly glaciated regions.

Identifying Geographical Patterns of Transient Deformation in the Geological Sea Level Record

K. M. Simon et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of transient mantle creep on the prediction of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals. The results show that the models are most sensitive to transient mantle deformation in regions near and peripheral to former ice sheets. In particular, the Burgers models better reproduce the rapid postglacial sea-level fall along the North American west coast. However, the far-field relative sea-level change predictions show weak sensitivity to the inclusion of transient deformation.

Inference of thermodynamic state in the asthenosphere from anelastic properties, with applications to North American upper mantle

Christopher Havlin et al.

Summary: The paper focuses on processes that may act at the time scales of seismic wave propagation and current questions in determining the dependence of these effects on thermodynamic state. By inferring mantle thermodynamic state from Vs and Q values, it is possible to constrain the state effectively, with results showing distinct state variable ranges consistent with different tectonic environments.

The tilted Iceland Plume and its effect on the North Atlantic evolution and magmatism

Nicolas Luca Celli et al.

Summary: Using seismic waveform tomography with massive datasets, a detailed model of the crust and upper mantle beneath Iceland and the surrounding North Atlantic region is computed. A large, low-velocity anomaly indicative of high temperatures at 400-660 kilometers depth beneath eastern Greenland is revealed, rising upwards towards Iceland. The major low-velocity anomaly is interpreted as the Iceland Plume, ascending from under Greenland and captured by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Effect of Lateral and Stress-Dependent Viscosity Variations on GIA Induced Uplift Rates in the Amundsen Sea Embayment

B. Blank et al.

Summary: Accurate glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models are crucial for understanding mass change in Antarctica. This study investigates the impact of 3D/3D-s models on uplift prediction, showing that stress-dependent rheology results in lower viscosity beneath the load and localized uplift patterns. Comparing 1D and 3D/3D-s models, 3D models are statistically indistinguishable from 1D models at current GPS stations.

Decadal to Centennial Timescale Mantle Viscosity Inferred From Modern Crustal Uplift Rates in Greenland

S. Adhikari et al.

Summary: The observed crustal uplift rates in Greenland are a combined response of the solid Earth to surface mass changes. Existing models underpredict the rates and do not capture ongoing mantle deformation since the Little Ice Age. New Earth models suggest a smaller inferred mantle viscosity, indicating a need for a more sophisticated treatment of model effective viscosity.
