| Abstract: | For more than 30 years, Sauramo's (1958) shoreline diagram of the Fennoscandian uplift has been used in geophysical studies for estimates of the glacial-isostatic decay spectrum in order to infer from it the viscosity stratification in the Earth's mantle below Fennoscandia. The intent of the present note is to point out that more recent geological studies suggest that Sauramo's shoreline diagram is an incorrect representation of the Fennoscandian uplift. Geophysical interpretations based on the diagram may therefore require revision. |
