Figure 3.22 Present-day vertical crustal motion estimated by the ICE-6G glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model (described in Peltier et al., 2015). Regions of large uplift (warm colors) indicate former centers of the Laurentide Ice Sheet; subsiding regions (cool colors) were close to the ice-sheet margin or were peripheral to the ice sheets. In Greenland, the modest amounts of crustal uplift and subsidence are largely due to modeled changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet.
