In celebration of the contributions of the Geography Department at Glasgow to glacial geomorphology, we have taken this opportunity to publish for the first time maps of the snout of Fjallsjo¨ kull and its foreland from 1945 and 1965 (Figure A1). Alt... Read More about Maps of the snout and proglacial landforms of Fjallsjökull, Iceland (1945, 1965, 1998)..

Glacial geomorphology at Glasgow (2009)
Journal Article

This paper reviews a century of geographical contributions at the University of Glasgow to the development of glacial geomorphology. Significant advances were made from the 1960s, when geographers and topographic scientists began to combine geomorphi... Read More about Glacial geomorphology at Glasgow.

Catastrophic landslides, glacier behaviour and moraine formation – A view from an active plate margin (2009)

The influence of large bedrock landslides (‘‘rock avalanches’’) on the behaviour of glaciers is incompletely recognised. Here we present an example from an active tectonic margin in South Island, New Zealand where large earthquakes leave a significan...

Digital elevation models of the area around the Solway Lowlands reveal complex subglacial bedform imprints relating the central sector of the LGM British and Irish Ice Sheet. Drumlin and lineation mapping in four case studies show that glacier flow d...

Controlled moraines: origins, characteristics and palaeoglaciological implications (2009)

Controlled moraines are supraglacial debris concentrations that become hummocky moraine upon deicing and possess clear linearity due to the inheritance of the former pattern of debris-rich folia in the parent ice. Linearity is most striking wherever... Read More about Controlled moraines: origins, characteristics and palaeoglaciological implications.

This issue of Quaternary Science Reviews contains a set of five papers relating to the theme of Modern analogues in Quaternary palaeoglaciological reconstruction. This was the subject of a special session held at the XVII INQUA Congress in Cairns, Au... Read More about Modern analogues in Quaternary palaeoglaciological reconstruction.

A 1:30,000 scale map of the snout and proglacial landscape of the surging Icelandic glacier Tungnaarjokull, based upon aerial photography from 1995, immediately after a surge, allows an assessment of the spatial variability in landform-sediment impri...
