Earth Rotation: Polar Motion

Scientific paper

Whereas the present-day true polar wander and the secular non-tidal acceleration of the Earth have usually been attributed to postglacial rebound, it has recently been suggested that non-glacially induced vertical tectonic movements taking place under non-isostatic conditions can also be effective in changing the Earth's rotation. The authors present a case study in which they analyse the effects of some simple uplift histories of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau on the rotational axis and on the second-degree zonal harmonic of the geoid, for time-scales of up to a few million years.
