GEORGIA: A Graph Neural Network Based EmulatOR for Glacial Isostatic Adjustment

Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) modeling is not only useful for understanding past relative sea‐level change but also for projecting future sea‐level change due to ongoing land deformation. However, GIA model predictions are subject to a range of uncertainties, most notably due to uncertainty in the input ice history. An effective way to reduce this uncertainty is to perform data‐model comparisons over a large ensemble of possible ice histories, but this is often impossible due to computational limitations. Here we address this problem by building a deep‐learning‐based GIA emulator that can mimic the behavior of a physics‐based GIA model while being computationally cheap to evaluate. Assuming a single 1‐D Earth rheology, our emulator shows 0.54 m mean absolute error on 150 out‐of‐sample testing data with
