Research Abstract
Through field surveys in East Antarctica and various data analyses, this study aimed to improve the accuracy of the GIA (Glacial Isostatic Adjustment) models, which is the response of the solid Earth to ice sheet loading and resulted in to contribute to the integrated studies of ice sheet, ocean, and climate modeling. As a result of the field surveys, absolute gravity measurements were made at several Antarctic stations to obtain reference values for future observations. In addition, GNSS observations revealed current crustal deformation rates, geological and geomorphological surveys the timing of past ice sheet retreatments. These results, together with the satellite data analyses and other modeling studies, expected to contribute the elucidation of the mechanism and future prediction of Antarctic ice sheet changes.
