Journal Article
Balaban, C., Roberts, D., Evans, D., & Jamieson, S. (2024). Past glaciation of temperate‐continental mountains: A model for a debris‐charged plateau icefield/cirque glacier landsystem in the Southern Carpathians, Romania. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 49(2), 601-621. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5723

Reconstructing the extent, style, timing and drivers of past mountain glaciation is crucial in both understanding past atmospheric circulation and predicting future climate change. Unlike in high‐elevation mountains situated in maritime and continent...

Direct measurement of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water close to the grounding line of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden (79° N) Glacier, northeast Greenland (2023)
Journal Article
Bentley, M. J., Smith, J. A., Jamieson, S. S., Lindeman, M. R., Rea, B. R., Humbert, A., …Roberts, D. H. (2023). Direct measurement of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water close to the grounding line of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden (79° N) Glacier, northeast Greenland. The Cryosphere, 17(5), 1821-1837. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-1821-2023

The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream has recently seen significant change to its floating margins and has been identified as vulnerable to future climate warming. Inflow of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water (AIW) from the continental shelf has been obse...

Ice-ocean interactions at the Northeast Greenland Ice stream (NEGIS) over the past 11,000 years (2023)
Journal Article
Lloyd, J., Ribeiro, S., Weckström, K., Callard, L., Ó Cofaigh, C., Leng, M., …Roberts, D. (2023). Ice-ocean interactions at the Northeast Greenland Ice stream (NEGIS) over the past 11,000 years. Quaternary Science Reviews, 308, Article 108068. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.108068

Recent observations have identified increased mass loss from Greenland marine-terminating outlet glaciers (MTOG) with implications for global sea-level rise and wider ocean circulation. The flow of Atlantic-sourced waters to the Greenland margin is t... Read More about Ice-ocean interactions at the Northeast Greenland Ice stream (NEGIS) over the past 11,000 years.

Holocene history of the 79° N ice shelf reconstructed from epishelf lake and uplifted glaciomarine sediments (2023)
Journal Article
Smith, J. A., Callard, L., Bentley, M. J., Jamieson, S. S., Sánchez-Montes, M. L., Lane, T. P., …Roberts, D. H. (2023). Holocene history of the 79° N ice shelf reconstructed from epishelf lake and uplifted glaciomarine sediments. The Cryosphere, 17(3), https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-1247-2023

Nioghalvfjerdsbrae, or 79◦ N Glacier, is the largest marine-terminating glacier draining the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS). In recent years, its ∼ 70 km long fringing ice shelf (hereafter referred to as the 79◦ N ice shelf) has thinned, and...

Characteristics and formation of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) in glaciated terrain: 1 - morphometric analyses (2023)
Journal Article
Newton, M., Stokes, C. R., Roberts, D. H., & Evans, D. J. (2023). Characteristics and formation of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) in glaciated terrain: 1 - morphometric analyses. Geomorphology, 427, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2023.108619

Bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) are subglacial landforms of erosion that occur in glaciated terrain in various geological and (palaeo)glaciological settings. Despite a significant literature on BMGs, no systematic morphometric analysis of these landforms...

Characteristics and formation of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) in glaciated terrain: 2 – conceptual models of BMG initiation (2023)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Newton, M., Roberts, D. H., & Stokes, C. R. (2023). Characteristics and formation of bedrock mega-grooves (BMGs) in glaciated terrain: 2 – conceptual models of BMG initiation. Geomorphology, 427, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2023.108620

Understanding BMG formation equates to being able to explain their initiation as well as their subsequent evolution. Several scenarios of bedrock mega-groove (BMG) initiation are proposed here, which attempt to explain how such parallel fluted terrai...

Understanding ice stream dynamics over decadal to millennial timescales is crucial for improving numerical model projections of ice sheet behaviour and future ice loss. In marine-terminating settings, ice shelves play a critical role in controlling i... Read More about The geomorphological record of an ice stream to ice shelf transition in Northeast Greenland.
