Simulate rebound of a landscape with varying wavelengths z x Initially Skip some math… W0 assume http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Glacier_weight_effects_LMB.png Skip more math… Integrate Turcotte and Schubert. Geodynamics. Second Ed. Cambridge University Press, 2002. Simulate rebound of a landscape with varying wavelengths • neglect forces in the z-direction • consequences of too small a wavelength relative to depression • reasonable results for large wavelengths -Hudson Bay, 5000km for depression of ~.5km, check with present-day rebound rate
