Relative sea-level variability during the late Middle Pleistocene: new evidence from eastern England (2017)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., Long, A., Gehrels, W., Saher, M., Scaife, R., Davies, H., …Taylor, S. (2017). Relative sea-level variability during the late Middle Pleistocene: new evidence from eastern England. Quaternary Science Reviews, 173, 20-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.08.017

Unravelling patterns of relative sea-level change during previous interglacials enhances our understanding of ice sheet response to changing climate. Temperate-latitude estuarine environments have the potential to preserve continuous records of relat...

Fluvial deposits as an archive of early human activity: progress during the 20 years of the Fluvial Archives Group (2017)
Journal Article
Chauhan, P., Bridgland, D., Moncel, M., Antoine, P., Bahain, J., Briant, R., …White, T. (2017). Fluvial deposits as an archive of early human activity: progress during the 20 years of the Fluvial Archives Group. Quaternary Science Reviews, 166, 114-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.03.016

Fluvial sedimentary archives are important repositories for Lower and Middle Palaeolithic artefacts throughout the ‘Old World’, especially in Europe, where the beginning of their study coincided with the realisation that early humans were of great an...

Well-dated fluvial sequences as templates for patterns of handaxe distribution: understanding the record of Acheulean activity in the Thames and its correlatives (2017)
Journal Article
White, M., Bridgland, D., Schreve, D., White, T., & Penkman, K. (2018). Well-dated fluvial sequences as templates for patterns of handaxe distribution: understanding the record of Acheulean activity in the Thames and its correlatives. Quaternary International, 480, 118-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2017.03.049

The use of Acheulean (handaxe) typology as a cultural and temporal marker has been a topic of controversy in recent decades, with many archaeologists continuing to reject such an approach out of hand. Much of the controversy stems, however, from diff...

The linking of the upper-middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as a result of fluvial entrenchment (2017)
Journal Article
Hu, Z., Pan, B., Bridgland, D., Vandenberghe, J., Guo, L., Fan, Y., & Westaway, R. (2017). The linking of the upper-middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as a result of fluvial entrenchment. Quaternary Science Reviews, 166, 324-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.02.026

The upper–middle Yellow River flows through the Fenwei graben, a structure resulting from extensional tectonism that was formed and repeatedly extended during the Cenozoic. The drainage system within this graben was formerly isolated from the lower r...

The Gediz River fluvial archive: A benchmark for Quaternary research in Western Anatolia (2016)
Journal Article
Maddy, D., Veldkamp, A., Demir, Y., van Gorp, W., Wijbrans, J., van Hinsbergen, D., …Aytaç, A. (2017). The Gediz River fluvial archive: A benchmark for Quaternary research in Western Anatolia. Quaternary Science Reviews, 166, 289-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.07.031

The Gediz River, one of the principal rivers of Western Anatolia, has an extensive Pleistocene fluvial archive that potentially offers a unique window into fluvial system behaviour on the western margins of Asia during the Quaternary. In this paper w... Read More about The Gediz River fluvial archive: A benchmark for Quaternary research in Western Anatolia.

Evidence for late Middle Pleistocene glaciation of the British margin of the southern North Sea (2016)
Journal Article
White, T. S., Bridgland, D. R., Westaway, R., & Straw, A. (2017). Evidence for late Middle Pleistocene glaciation of the British margin of the southern North Sea. Journal of Quaternary Science, 32(2), 261-275. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2826

The timing and extent of late Middle Pleistocene glaciations in England and the southern North Sea are controversial topics. The recent Trent Valley Palaeolithic Project uncovered evidence for a post-Anglian, pre-Devensian glaciation that affected mu...
