Fig. 6: GIA contribution due to ongoing adjustment.

From: Higher than present global mean sea level recorded by an Early Pliocene intertidal unit in Patagonia (Argentina)

Fig. 6

The maps show the GIA contribution caused by the incomplete present-day adjustment to the late Pleistocene ice and ocean loading cycles. a Model simulation using a viscosity structure of 5  × 1020 Pa s viscosity in the upper mantle, 5 ×  1021 Pa s viscosity in the lower mantle, and an elastic lithospheric thickness of 96 km. b Standard deviation of model predictions obtained using 36 different radial viscosity profiles, including varying the lithospheric thickness. The square in all insets marks the position of Camarones.
