The deformation of the earth's crust under superposed loads is considered as a problem in structural mechanics. The crust is treated as a uniform, elastic, thin, spherical shell, and the mantle is treated as an enclosed viscous liquid. Equations relating loading and crustal response are developed. Loadings may be spatially concentrated, locally distributed, or global and may be applied as a steady-state or transient condition. Crustal displacements under reservoir loadings, glacial sheets, and sea-level rises are predicted and agree well with observations both in magnitude and in time. The Wisconsin glaciation in North America is treated in particular.
