BENCHMARK COMPARISONS FOR MODELS OF

GLACIAL ISOSTATIC ADJUSTMENT

Georg Kaufmann & Paul Johnston


The intention of this homepage is to provide benchmark comparisons for researchers working on computational problems of glacial isostatic adjustment and related phenomena.

In the following sections we outline some simple problems, which should be numerically solved by interested research groups, and which will provide a basis for benchmark comparisons. We encourage everyone working on problems of glacial isostatic adjustment to generate results and submit them to the authors. We will accept contributions as ASCII files in the format outlined in the problem subsections. The deadline for submitting results is

31. July 1997.


Even if you can contribute only to one of the problems, your participation is welcome. Please give a short (less than one page) description of the method, which you use to generate Love numbers. Suggestions for further problems or modifications are welcome in the next weeks.
