Research Interests

Response of the oceans and solid Earth due to changes in surface loads to

• Gain insight into both the sources and magnitude of sea level rise
• Study the mechanical properties of the lithosphere and mantle

Examples include

1. Changes in sea level affected by melting glaciers and ice sheets (e.g., Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica)
2. Continuing adjustment of the Earth system to the late Pleistocene ice sheets
3. Sea level variations and crustal motion cause by atmospheric and hydrological loading
