Lambeck?s theoretical and observational approach addresses fundamental
Lambeck?s theoretical and observational approach addresses fundamental
questions relating to our planet. His findings on the solid earth have revolutionized
crucial concepts in the geosciences, adopting an interdisciplinary outlook ranging
from geodetics to geology, geophysics, oceanography and paleoclimatology.
Long description:
Of Moon and Land, Ice and Strand encompasses the four elements constituting the
principal directions of Lambeck?s research over the past five decades: the Moon and
artificial satellites; the Earth?s surface, crust and deep interior; the ice sheets of the
geologically recent past; and aspects of the oceans and the coastal zones. In this
lecture, Lambeck shows us what can be learnt from the analysis of past sea-level
data, for example complementing glaciological and geological models of past events,
or gaining insight into the material behaviour of the Earth (the mantle response
function). Most importantly, observations of the ice histories and mantle response
functions can be unscrambled to provide models with predictive capabilities,
and this has implications for other fields of science like archaeology, pre-history
paleogeography and the study of modern sea-level change.
