A chronology for North Sea Lobe advance and recession on the Lincolnshire and Norfolk coasts during MIS 2 and 6 (2018)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Roberts, D. H., Bateman, M. D., Ely, J., Medialdea, A., Burke, M. J., …Fabel, D. (in press). A chronology for North Sea Lobe advance and recession on the Lincolnshire and Norfolk coasts during MIS 2 and 6. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pgeola.2018.10.004

During the last (MIS 2) and older glaciations of the North Sea, a North Sea Lobe (NSL) of the British-Irish Ice Sheet flowed onshore and terminated on the lowlands of eastern England, constructing inset sequences of either substantial ice-marginal de...

Quantification of historical landscape change on the foreland of a receding polythermal glacier, Hørbyebreen, Svalbard (2018)
Journal Article

The assessment of multidecadal scale change in a polythermal glacial landsystem in the high Arctic is facilitated by a quantitative approach that utilises time series of aerial photographs, satellite images, digital elevation models, and field geomor...

Ice marginal dynamics of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: Ice limits, timing and the influence of the Dogger Bank (2018)
Journal Article
Roberts, D. H., Evans, D. J., Callard, S. L., Clark, C. D., Bateman, M. D., Medialdea, A., …Bradwell, T. (2018). Ice marginal dynamics of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: Ice limits, timing and the influence of the Dogger Bank. Quaternary Science Reviews, 198, 181-207. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.08.010

The southern North Sea is a particularly important area for understanding the behaviour of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) during the last glacial cycle. It preserves a record of the maximum extent of the eastern sector of the BIIS as well as evid...

Sedimentation during MIS 3 at the eastern margins of the Glacial Lake Humber basin, England (2018)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Roberts, D. H., Bateman, M. D., Medialdea, A., Ely, J., Moreton, S. G., …Fabel, D. (2018). Sedimentation during MIS 3 at the eastern margins of the Glacial Lake Humber basin, England. Journal of Quaternary Science, 38(3), 871-891. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3066

The stratigraphic sequence at North Cave, on the eastern margins of the Lake Humber basin, records the deposition of a fluvioperiglacial fan (LFs 1–4), with early sedimentation (LF1) dating to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 (optically stimulated lumine...

Glacial geomorphology of Teesdale, northern Pennines, England: Implications for upland styles of ice stream operation and deglaciation in the British-Irish Ice Sheet (2018)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Dinnage, M., & Roberts, D. H. (2018). Glacial geomorphology of Teesdale, northern Pennines, England: Implications for upland styles of ice stream operation and deglaciation in the British-Irish Ice Sheet. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 129(6), 697-735. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pgeola.2018.05.001

The glacial geomorphology of Teesdale and the North Pennines uplands is analysed in order to decipher: a) the operation of easterly flowing palaeo-ice streams in the British-Irish Ice Sheet; and b) the style of regional deglaciation. Six landform cat...

Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial (2018)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., McClymont, E., Whitehouse, P., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Woodroffe, S., …Sanchez-Montes, M. (2018). Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial. Nature Geoscience, 11, 627-634. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0195-4

During the Last Interglacial, global mean sea level reached approximately 6 to 9 m above the present level. This period of high sea level may have been punctuated by a fall of more than 4 m, but a cause for such a widespread sea-level fall has been e...

Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin (2018)
Journal Article
Chiverrell, R., Smedley, R., Small, D., Ballantyne, C., Burke, M., Callard, S., …Wilson, P. (2018). Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin. Journal of Quaternary Science, 33(7), 739-762. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3057

We present a new chronology to constrain ice‐margin retreat in the northern Irish Sea Basin. Estimates on the timing of ice thinning derived from surface exposure ages for boulders from the summits of the Isle of Man and south‐west Cumbria suggest th...

Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review (2018)
Journal Article
Newton, M., Evans, D., Roberts, D., & Stokes, C. (2018). Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review. Earth-Science Reviews, 185, 57-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2018.03.007

Bedrock mega-grooves are assemblages of straight and parallel troughs eroded in bedrock, typically over 1000 m in length; most sites occur within the limits of the Last Glacial Maximum, both on- and off-shore. In this paper, we review the current und... Read More about Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review.
