Description:
A linear transfer function analysis has been applied to gravity and topographic data from Australia to calculate the isostatic response function of Dorman and Lewis. The Australian response function is considerably different from that calculated for the United States. The differences can be explained on the basis of an apparent evolution of the isostatic compensation mechanism in which viscoelastic creep occurs in the lithosphere and relaxes the initial long-wavelength elastic stresses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McNutt, M K -- Parker, R L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Feb 17;199(4330):773-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17836294" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
