Viscosity of the mantle from relaxation time spectra of isostatic adjustment
Abstract
After allowing for the effects of sea level fluctuations, harmonic analysis of the present level of former shoreline features in southeast Fennoscandia indicates that shorter wavelength departures from equilibrium relax more rapidly than longer ones. These observations together with indicated recent secular decreases in the length of the day would seem to confirm that flow in the upper-mantle low-viscosity channel as a result of the Pleistocene glacial loading is the most likely source of the earth's nonhydrostatic bulge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
