Ice cap melting and low‐viscosity crustal root explain the narrow geodetic uplift of the Western Alps

More than 10 years of geodetic measurements demonstrate an uplift rate of 1–3 mm/yr of the high topography region of the Western Alps. By contrast, no significant horizontal motion has been detected. Two uplift mechanisms have been proposed: (1) the isostatic response to denudation responsible for o...
