520 _aNatural fluctuations in Earth’s climate, between cold ‘glacial’ and warm ‘interglacial’ periods, produce a wide range of changes to the Earth’s surface. One of these changes is related to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which is a phenomenon whereby the loading and unloading of the Earth’s crust and mantle due to the growth and retreat of large ice sheets induces regional deformation. The towns of Queenstown, Glenorchy, Frankton, and Kingston are located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. They are popular tourist destinations and have significant flood and earthquake hazards. This study was focused on identifying evidence of post-glacial rebound and a history of lake level changes that may influence ongoing hazards in the region.
