Ice sheet extent and early deglacial history of the southwestern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet (2009)
Journal Article
Roberts, D., Long, A., Schnabel, C., Davies, B., Simpson., M., Sheng, X., & Huybrechts, P. (2009). Ice sheet extent and early deglacial history of the southwestern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28(25-26), 2760-2773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2009.07.002

The offshore and coastal geomorphology of southwest Greenland records evidence for the advance and decay of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum. Regional ice flow patterns in the vicinity of Sisimiut show an enlarged ice sheet tha...

Calibrating a glaciological model of the Greenland ice sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum to present-day using field observations of relative sea level and ice extent (2009)
Journal Article
Simpson, M., Milne, G., Huybrechts, P., & Long, A. (2009). Calibrating a glaciological model of the Greenland ice sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum to present-day using field observations of relative sea level and ice extent. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28(17-18), 1631-1657. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2009.03.004

We constrain a three-dimensional thermomechanical model of Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) evolution from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka BP) to the present-day using, primarily, observations of relative sea level (RSL) as well as field data on past...

Back to the future: Greenland's contribution to sea-level change (2009)
Journal Article
Long, A. (2009). Back to the future: Greenland's contribution to sea-level change. GSA Today, 19(6), 4-10. https://doi.org/10.1130/gsatg40a.1

The Greenland Ice Sheet is presently making a signifi cant contribution to global sea-level rise. Predictions for the future suggest that this will continue and likely accelerate during the remainder of this century. However, a comprehensive understa...

Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (2009)
Journal Article
Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Dawson, S., Roberts, D., & Bryant, L. (2009). Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Journal of Quaternary Science, 24(4), 345-359. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1235

In West Greenland, early and mid Holocene relative sea level (RSL) fall was replaced by late Holocene RSL rise during the Neoglacial, after 4-3 cal. ka BP (thousand calibrated years before present). Here we present the results of an isolation basin R... Read More about Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Ice marginal dynamics during surge activity, Kuannersuit Glacier, Disko Island, West Greenland (2009)
Journal Article
Roberts, D., Yde, J., Long, A., Knudsen, N., & Lloyd, J. (2009). Ice marginal dynamics during surge activity, Kuannersuit Glacier, Disko Island, West Greenland. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28(3-4), 209-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.10.022

The Kuannersuit Glacier surged 11 km between 1995 and 1998. The surge resulted in the formation of an ice cored thrust moraine complex constructed by subglacial and proglacial glaciotectonic processes. Four main thrust zones are evident in the glacie...
