Description :
This paper investigates the effects of a glaciation of the Tibetan Plateau on present uplift rates and gravity anomalies using different space-time histories of the glaciated area during the last glaciation and the formulation for surface loading on a spherically symmetric, linear Maxwell-viscoelastic Earth. This method is commonly used to study effects related to the global mass redistributions during the Late Pleistocene glacial cycle.
