12. SUMMARY Data can provide useful information to constrain Fennoscandian ice history. Viscosity inference relatively insensitive to adopted ice model. Data capable of resolving two layers within upper mantle and one layer in lower mantle to a depth of ~1200 km. Remaining residual signal to be explored via: - Dynamic ice models - Lateral earth structure - Neotectonic motions
