Understanding Glacial Isostatic Adjustment A Joint DynaQlim / GGOS Workshop June 23-26, 2009; Helsinki, Finland • Workshop Objectives • Review the current state of the science in modeling glacial isostatic adjustment • Review the use of geodetic measurements to both constrain and test GIA models • Identify obstacles to improving GIA models • Identify the improvements to the global geodetic observing system that are required to advance our understanding of glacial isostatic adjustment • Major outcome of workshop will be a report summarizing • The current state of the science • A description of future research directions • A description of the future observations that are needed to improve our understanding of glacial isostatic adjustment. • Scientific Organizing Committee Markku Poutanen (Chair, FGI) Matt King (U Newcastle) Richard Gross (Co-chair, JPL) Dick Peltier (U Toronto) Donald Argus (JPL) Bert Vermeersen (TU Delft) Erik Ivins (JPL)
