I really want to see some papers, models or simulations to illustrate some of these effects - starting with the gravitational influence of ice sheets on sea level. This shouldn't be a difficult thing to illustrate numerically, but wow it would have a big impact on how (at least I) perceive the ice sheets.

So far, I haven't been able to dig anything up - there's some prose at [1] but nothing hard. A poster at [2]. Mitrovica's website [3] doesn't seem to have anything. It's late, so I'll have to postpone the search for now, but here's hoping other readers can help me :-).
