Effects of glacial forcing on lithospheric motion and ridge spreading
Nature, Published online: 23 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08846-xRealistic-lithosphere numerical models suggest glacial forcing in the last glacial cycle notably affected plate motions and mid-ocean-ridge spreading rates near major ice sheets, with implications for modern polar deglaciation enhancing magmatism and markedly impacting climate.
