Glacial landscape evolution in the Uummannaq region, West Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Lane, T., Roberts, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., Rea, B., & Vieli, A. (2016). Glacial landscape evolution in the Uummannaq region, West Greenland. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 45(2), 220-234. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12150

The Uummannaq region is a mosaic of glacial landsystems, consistent with hypothesized landscape distribution resulting from variations in subglacial thermal regime. The region is dominated by selective linear erosion that has spatially and altitudina... Read More about Glacial landscape evolution in the Uummannaq region, West Greenland.

The glacial history of the southern Svartenhuk Halvø, West Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Lane, T., Roberts, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., Vieli, A., & Moreton, S. (2015). The glacial history of the southern Svartenhuk Halvø, West Greenland. Arktos (Cham. Internet), 1(1), Article 19. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41063-015-0017-5

This paper presents a new, detailed geomorphological and sedimentological appraisal of the southern Svartenhuk Halvø, a remote area of West Greenland that has only been subjected to limited geomorphological and sedimentological research. Despite this... Read More about The glacial history of the southern Svartenhuk Halvø, West Greenland.

Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England (2015)
Journal Article
Livingstone, S., Roberts, D., Davies, B., Evans, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., & Gheorghiu, D. (2015). Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England. Journal of Quaternary Science, 30(8), 790-804. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2813

The deglacial history of the central sector of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet is poorly constrained, particularly along major ice-stream flow paths. The Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream (TGIS) was a major fast-flow conduit of the British–Irish Ice Sheet... Read More about Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England.

Glacial geomorphology of the Skálafellsjökull foreland, Iceland: A case study of ‘annual’ moraines (2015)
Journal Article
Chandler, B., Evans, D., Roberts, D., Ewertowski, M., & Clayton, A. (2016). Glacial geomorphology of the Skálafellsjökull foreland, Iceland: A case study of ‘annual’ moraines. Journal of Maps, 12(5), 904-916. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2015.1096216

Small-scale recessional push moraines are a characteristic signature of the active temperate glacial landsystem, and are often clearly linked to annual re-advances. These recessional push moraines represent a potentially valuable terrestrial climate...

Drumlin sedimentology in a hard-bed, lowland setting, Connemara, western Ireland: implications for subglacial bedform generation in areas of sparse till cover (2015)
Journal Article
Evans, D., Roberts, D., & O'Cofaigh, C. (2015). Drumlin sedimentology in a hard-bed, lowland setting, Connemara, western Ireland: implications for subglacial bedform generation in areas of sparse till cover. Journal of Quaternary Science, 30(6), 537-557. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2801

Cores of coastal drumlins in Connemara contain stratified diamictons that interdigitate with gravelly clinoforms and finer grained rhythmites. The diamictons are interpreted as subaqueous mud apron deposits delivered by subglacial till advection to c...

On the Reconstruction of Palaeo-Ice Sheets: Recent Advances and Future Challenges (2015)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Tarasov, L., Blomdin, R., Cronin, T., Fisher, T., Gyllencreutz, R., …Teller, J. (2015). On the Reconstruction of Palaeo-Ice Sheets: Recent Advances and Future Challenges. Quaternary Science Reviews, 125, 15-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.07.016

Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past, present and future. The significance of palaeo-ice sheets is further underlin... Read More about On the Reconstruction of Palaeo-Ice Sheets: Recent Advances and Future Challenges.

Spatiotemporal variability of oxygen isotope compositions in three contrasting glacier river catchments in Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Yde, J., Knudsen, N., Steffensen, J., Carrivick, J., Hasholt, B., Ingeman-Nielsen, T., …Russell, A. (2015). Spatiotemporal variability of oxygen isotope compositions in three contrasting glacier river catchments in Greenland. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 12(6), 5841-5893. https://doi.org/10.5194/hessd-12-5841-2015

Analysis of stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) characteristics is a useful tool to investigate water provenance in glacier river systems. In order to attain knowledge on the diversity of spatio-temporal δ18O variations in glacier rivers, we have examined t...
