Theoretically, earthquakes could increase, if the ice sheets melted at an accelerated rate. It’s called isostatic rebound and it’s one of the mechanisms behind why Buffalo, New York experiences small earthquakes.

For an easy to read article on the phenomenon. Other studies have been conducted on increased volcanic activity after the last glaciation possibly suggesting isostatic control. However, it is difficult to know if it is a preservation problem. Glaciation might just wipe out evidence for volcanism.

edit: saw your post at the top of the page. I didn’t realize others also pointed this out. My bad!
