Prediction of Sea Level Change around Australia and its Calibration and Validation by Satellite-Geodetic Measurements

由于冰川消融造成的质量和载荷的重新分配将改变地球的重力场、自转轴和质心。因此，全球海平面不会在所有地方以相同的幅度上升，甚至在某些地方会下降。这个项目将扩展我们的现实地球模型，该模型是由以前的ARC拨款构建的，以模拟海平面的这种变化。这些模拟值将与卫星大地测量测量的冰质量平衡和时间重力变化的当代估计值进行比较。最终，这将允许对澳大拉西亚的海平面变化进行更明智的管理。

The redistribution of mass and loading due to deglaciation will change the gravity field, spin axis and centre of mass of the Earth. As such, global sea level will not rise by the same amount in all places, and will even fall in some. This project will extend our realistic Earth model, constructed from a previous ARC grant, to simulate such changes in sea level. These simulated values will be compared with contemporary estimates of ice mass balance and temporal gravity changes measured by satellite geodesy. Ultimately, this will allow for more informed management of sea level change in Australasia.
