Isostatic flexure of a finite slope due to sea-level rise and fall
Sea level has risen on order of 100. m since the last glacial maximum (LGM), increasing the load on continental shelves and inducing lithospheric flexure. An analytic solution for the deflection of a linear slope due to sea level fluctuations is derived, based on a one-dimensional elastic plate mode...
