Don,
>> The problem is going to be separating rising due to "hot spot" thermal
pluming from glacial rebound, that's known from Holocene marine fossils in the
Champlain Valley to be 150 meters or more and is probably still happening. <<
I think they're well aware of that. They're specifically looking not only for
vertical uplift but also for horizontal spreading. They hope to find a doming
pattern to the motion, which would indicate a thermal plume from below rather
than postglacial rebounding.
