WebThe Lithospheric Density Structure of the Antarctic Continent from Integrated 3D Gravity and Petrological Modelling Folker Pappa , Joerg Ebbing , Fausto Ferraccioli, Wouter van … WebThe temperature contrast between lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle is estimated as ~400°C, equivalent to a viscosity that decreases by a factor of about 30 over the mantle boundary. Results demonstrate that the history of surface uplift in the study area may be complicated, resulting in observations of uplift, or subsidence, at GNSS stations. graphic acceloration
