The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin (2020)
Journal Article
Roberts, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., Ballantyne, C., Burke, M., Chiverrell, R., Evans, D., …Callard, S. (2020). The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 49(3), 438-460. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12448

This paper provides a new deglacial chronology for retreat of the Irish Ice Sheet from the continental shelf of western Ireland to the adjoining coastline, a region where the timing and drivers of ice recession have never been fully constrained. Prev... Read More about The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin.

The glacial landsystem of Fjallsjökull, Iceland: Spatial and temporal evolution of process-form regimes at an active temperate glacier (2020)
Journal Article
Chandler, B. M., Evans, D. J., Chandler, S. J., Ewertowski, M. W., Lovell, H., Roberts, D. H., …Tomczyk, A. M. (in press). The glacial landsystem of Fjallsjökull, Iceland: Spatial and temporal evolution of process-form regimes at an active temperate glacier. Geomorphology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107192

This study assesses the spatial and temporal evolution of the glacial landsystem signature at Fjallsjökull, southeast Iceland, using (a) mapping of the glacial geomorphology and surficial geology and (b) repeat uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys....

Sub‐annual moraine formation at an active temperate Icelandic glacier (2020)
Journal Article
Chandler, B. M., Chandler, S. J., Evans, D. J., Ewertowski, M. W., Lovell, H., Roberts, D. H., …Tomczyk, A. M. (2020). Sub‐annual moraine formation at an active temperate Icelandic glacier. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 45(7), 1622-1643. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4835

This paper presents detailed geomorphological and sedimentological investigations of small recessional moraines at Fjallsjökull, an active temperate outlet of Öræfajökull, southeast Iceland. The moraines are characterised by striking sawtooth or hair... Read More about Sub‐annual moraine formation at an active temperate Icelandic glacier.

Bathymetry constrains ocean heat supply to Greenland’s largest glacier tongue (2020)
Journal Article
Schaffer, J., Kanzow, T., von Appen, W., von Albedyll, L., Arndt, J. E., & Roberts, D. H. (2020). Bathymetry constrains ocean heat supply to Greenland’s largest glacier tongue. Nature Geoscience, 13(3), 227-231. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-019-0529-x

Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet has increased over the past two decades, currently accounting for 25% of global sea-level rise. This is due to increased surface melt driven by atmospheric warming and the retreat and acceleration of marine-term...
