<br/><br/> Eighteen contributions from international scientists discuss recent research on the process of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). Some of the topics covered include the modeling of the Earth's viscoelastic response; the prediction and analysis of sea-level changes and anomalies in the Earth's rotation and gravity field; and the inference of mantle viscosity. The volume is well illustrated with maps and diagrams in b & w and color, but it does not contain an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
