Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
This review provides updated estimates of the glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) component of present-day uplift at a suite of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sites in Greenland using the most recently published global ice sheet deglaciation histories. For some areas of Greenland (e.g. the north-west and north-east), the use of GNSS to estimate elastic uplift rates resulting from contemporary mass balance changes is more affected by the choice of GIA correction applied compared to other regions (e.g. central-west). The contribution of GIA to GRACE estimates of mass imbalance is becoming increasingly insignificant for large areas of Greenland as it enters a period of extreme warmth, and in total represents <5 % contribution (−6 to +10 Gt/year) to the observed Greenland-wide mass trends over the last decade. However, differences between deglacial histories and uncertainties in their assumed viscoelastic Earth structure combine to result in significantly different region-by-region estimates of GIA.
