GLACIOLOGISTS

TECTONOPHYSICISTS

GEOPHYSICISTS

Nakada and Lambeck (1987) also pointed out three different disciplines with different approaches to examine and use the changes in sea level that occurred during the Holocene period: “Glaciologists have used the sea‐level information to constrain the volume of past ice sheets; tectonophysicists use the relative sea‐level changes to examine the processes that deform the crust and lithosphere; geophysicists use the sea‐level signatures to estimate the rheological properties of the mantle and the mechanical properties of the lithosphere.”
