Abstract

This chapter presents the main rheological features of the lithosphere and of the upper mantle with respect to deformations of the solid Earth in response to time-varying surface loading. Rheological aspects as numerical modeling are discussed in view of the general strategies applied in geophysics, which are perturbations of a self-gravitating, non-rotating, linearly viscoelastic, isostatically pre-stressed Earth (SNRVEI) in a spherical geometry. Based on this model, limits of present modeling and future directions are discussed.
