Claim: But gravity measurements of ice-mass loss are  complicated by glacial isostatic adjustments—compensation for the rise or fall of the underlying crustal material.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Glacial isostatic adjustment—the slow rise of land masses once depressed by the weight of ice sheets from the last ice age—is chief among these signals.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Post-glacial rebound and isostatic depression are phases of glacial isostasy (glacial isostatic adjustment, glacioisostasy), the deformation of the Earth's crust in response to changes in ice mass distribution.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Mass changes of ice sheets can be monitored by measuring changes in the ice surface height, the deformation of the ground below and the changes in the gravity field over the ice sheet.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: However, glacial isostatic adjustment of the ice sheets affect ground deformation and the gravity field today.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The enormous weight of this ice caused the surface of the Earth's crust to deform and warp downward, forcing the viscoelastic mantle material to flow away from the loaded region.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Post-glacial rebound and isostatic depression are different parts of a process known as either glacial isostasy, glacial isostatic adjustment, or glacioisostasy.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Some land masses are moving up or down as a consequence of subsidence (land sinking or settling) or post-glacial rebound (land rising due to the loss of the weight of ice after melting), so that local sea level rise may be higher or lower than the global average.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The gravitational effects comes into play when a large ice sheet melts.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: As mountains grow higher, they generally allow for more glacial activity (especially in the accumulation zone above the glacial equilibrium line altitude), which causes increased rates of erosion of the mountain, decreasing mass faster than isostatic rebound can add to the mountain.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Because the great mass of glaciers and ice caps depressed the Earth's crust, another long-term effect of ice melt and deglaciation is the gradual rising of landmasses, a process called "post-glacial rebound".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Isostasy (Greek "ísos" "equal", "stásis" "standstill") is the state of gravitational equilibrium between Earth's crust (or lithosphere) and mantle such that the crust "floats" at an elevation that depends on its thickness and density.
