This session invites presentations focusing on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models and their associated observational constraints, as well as the use and application of potential field methods in geophysical studies. Particularly encouraged are contributions that discuss advancements in the ice sheet model or Earth model representations of the GIA process, including incorporating glaciological processes, complex mantle rheologies, and/or lateral variations in Earth structure. Also welcomed are submissions that describe recent space-based geodetic observations of cryospheric mass change, new or updated (glacio-)geological records – particularly as they relate to the improved constraint and understanding of GIA deformation – and the development and application of potential field methods in geophysics. Submissions may focus on short- or long-term scales and studies on local, regionally developed or global scales. 

Conveners: Karen M. Simon, Canadian Geodetic Survey, Natural Resources Canada; Thomas S. James, Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada; Maryam Yousefi, Canadian Geodetic Survey, Natural Resources Canada
