The dominant ones were tree rings, and ice cores, but others like varves, pollen, lichens, historic soil temperatures, sea level (eustasy), land levels (isostasy) require similar audits.    From Wordnik.com.  [Merry Christmas « Climate Audit] Reference

But if the theory of isostasy is true, one would at first say that there could be no great accumulation through a geologic period of stresses which would finally yield in the shape of folded mountain ranges.    From Wordnik.com.  [Popular Science Monthly Oct, Nov, Dec, 1915 — Volume 86] Reference

There are a number of facts which support this so-called theory of isostasy, according to which the crust of the earth is not capable of sustaining any very great weight, though it may be at the outside rigid, but is itself essentially like a flexible membrane resting on a layer of viscous fluid.    From Wordnik.com.  [Popular Science Monthly Oct, Nov, Dec, 1915 — Volume 86] Reference

This state of equilibrium, which was first recognised by Pratt, as part of the dynamics of the Earth's crust, has been named isostasy.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Birth-Time of the World and Other Scientific Essays] Reference

Mallorca appears to be particularly well suited to the task, because neither tectonics nor isostasy -- geological forces of crustal motion -- over-complicate the record.    From Wordnik.com.  [R&D Mag - News] Reference

But this load of sediments, transferred from the dry land to the ocean margins and shallow seas, disturbed the balance of weight (isostasy) which normally keeps the continental platforms above the level of the ocean basins (which as shown by gravity measurement are underlain by materials of higher specific gravity than the continents).    From Wordnik.com.  [Dinosaurs With Special Reference to the American Museum Collections] Reference

So both you and hank Roberts should be aware that since its modulus is a couple of orders of magnitude lower than that of an average silicate rock, a landward ice sheet flowing at tens of meters per year under its own weight will respond to local isostasy raising the land at a rate of millimeters per year by bending easily under the strain, not cracking off like a cleaved diamond.    From Wordnik.com.  [RealClimate] Reference
