Ivins, E. R. (author), van der Wal, W. (author), Wiens, D. A. (author), Lloyd, A. J. (author), Caron, L. (author)The Antarctic mantle and lithosphere are known to have large lateral contrasts in seismic velocity and tectonic history. These contrasts suggest differences in the response timescale of mantle flow across the continent, similar to those documented between the northeastern and southwestern upper mantle of North America. Glacial isostatic...journal article 2023
