Computations of the viscoelastic response of a 3-D compressible Earth to surface loading: an application to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment in Antarctica and Canada (2012, background): “Arguably, the most useful GIA observations are those provided by relative sea-level (RSL) measurements (e.g. Peltier 1998; Mitrovica & Forte 2004), particularly from near the locations of the Laurentide ice sheet in northern Canada.”
Present-Day Sea Level Change: Observations and Causes (2003, background): “[67] A number of postglacial rebound models have been developed during the past 2 decades [e.g., Lambeck and Johnston, 1998; Mitrovica and Forte, 2004; Peltier, 1998].”
Glacial isostatic adjustment modelling: historical perspectives, recent advances, and future directions (2018, methodology): “…of data can be used to determine the details of GIA model inputs, e.g. geological evidence can provide information on past ice extent (Bentley et al., 2014), while modelling of mantle dynamics can be used to determine independent constraints on mantle viscosity (e.g. Mitrovica and Forte, 2004).”
A new driving mechanism for backarc extension and backarc shortening through slab sinking induced toroidal and poloidal mantle flow: Results from dynamic subduction models with an overriding plate (2013, background): “…suggested for the sublithospheric upper mantle in nature (1019–1021 Pa s) [Artyushkov, 1983; Ranalli, 1995] and is close to the average sublithospheric upper mantle viscosity as deduced from glacial isostatic studies and mantle convection studies [Lambeck et al., 1998;Mitrovica and Forte, 2004].”
TIDALLY HEATED TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANETS: VISCOELASTIC RESPONSE MODELS (2009, background): “From isostatic rebound studies of Canada and Scandinavia (Mitrovica & Forte 2004), Earth’s viscosity is of the order ∼ 4 × 1020 to ∼ 1 × 1023 Pa·s from the upper to lower mantle respectively.”
The viscosity of Earth's lower mantle inferred from sinking speed of subducted lithosphere (2012, background): “1b) as suggested by several studies (Ricard and Wuming, 1991; Mitrovica and Forte, 2004; Steinberger and Calderwood, 2006).”
Loss of cultural world heritage and currently inhabited places to sea-level rise (2014, positive): “…and taking into account changes in the Earth’s gravity field from mass relocation and rotation changes, and the dynamical response of the Earth’s crust based on a spherically symmetric Earth model with 1D, depth-dependent viscosity structure (Mitrovica and Forte 2004, Kaufmann and Lambeck 2000).”
A new glacial isostatic adjustment model for Antarctica: calibrated and tested using observations of relative sea‐level change and present‐day uplift rates (2012, positive): “The GIA model accounts for shoreline migration, changes in loading due to the retreat of marine-grounded ice (Mitrovica & Milne 2003; Kendall et al. 2005), and rotational feedback (Milne & Mitrovica 1998; Mitrovica et al. 2005).”

Models of large‐scale viscous flow in the Earth's mantle with constraints from mineral physics and surface observations (2006, methodology): “However, this can also be achieved by narrow layers of low viscosity (Panasyuk & Hager 2000; Mitrovica & Forte 2004).”
