Journal Article
Barlow, N., Bentley, M., Spada, G., Evans, D., Hansom, J., Brader, M., …Berg, S. (2016). Testing models of ice cap extent, South Georgia, sub-Antarctic. Quaternary Science Reviews, 154, 157-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.11.007

The extent of Last Glacial Maximum ice in South Georgia is contested, with two alternative hypotheses: an extensive (maximum) model of ice reaching the edge of the continental shelf, or a restricted (minimum) model with ice constrained within the inn...

Recent retreat at a temperate Icelandic glacier in the context of the last ~80 years of climate change in the North Atlantic region (2016)
Journal Article
Chandler, B., Evans, D., & Roberts, D. (2016). Recent retreat at a temperate Icelandic glacier in the context of the last ~80 years of climate change in the North Atlantic region. Arktos (Cham. Internet), 2(1), Article 24. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41063-016-0024-1

Over recent decades, glaciers outside of Greenland and Antarctica have displayed accelerating rates of mass loss and ice-frontal retreat, and this has been associated with unequivocal climatic and oceanic warming. Icelandic glaciers are particularly... Read More about Recent retreat at a temperate Icelandic glacier in the context of the last ~80 years of climate change in the North Atlantic region.

Dynamics of former ice lobes of the southernmost Patagonian Ice Sheet based on a glacial landsystems approach (2016)
Journal Article
Darvill, C., Stokes, C., Bentley, M., Evans, D., & Lovell, H. (2016). Dynamics of former ice lobes of the southernmost Patagonian Ice Sheet based on a glacial landsystems approach. Journal of Quaternary Science, 32(6), 857-876. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2890

Reconstructions of former ice masses from glacial geomorphology help to constrain the nature and timing of glaciation in relation to climatic forcing. This paper presents a new reconstruction of the glacial history of five ice lobes in southernmost S...

Glacial geomorphology of the terrestrial margins of the tidewater glacier, Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard (2016)
Journal Article
Ewertowski, M., Evans, D., Roberts, D., & Tomczyk, A. (2016). Glacial geomorphology of the terrestrial margins of the tidewater glacier, Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard. Journal of Maps, 12(sup1), 476-487. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2016.1192329

A 1:4000 scale map of the terrestrial margins of the foreland of Nordenskiöldbreen depicts a polythermal glacial landsystem containing a record of the landform signatures of individual ice flow units that operate within the glacier snout. A 1:700 map... Read More about Glacial geomorphology of the terrestrial margins of the tidewater glacier, Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard.

Multiple subglacial till deposition: a modern exemplar for Quaternary palaeoglaciology (2016)
Journal Article

The sedimentology of a vertical succession of alternating beds of massive and fissile diamictons on a þorisjökull plateau icefield outlet foreland is employed to assess the evolution of subglacial traction tills at the margins of active temperate gla...

Landscapes at the periphery of glacierization - retrospect and prospect (2016)
Journal Article
Evans, D. (2016). Landscapes at the periphery of glacierization - retrospect and prospect. Scottish Geographical Journal, 132(2), 140-163. https://doi.org/10.1080/14702541.2016.1156732

This paper reviews the evolution of palaeoglaciological reconstructions in regions at the periphery of glacierization, where an improved understanding of the role of glacial thermal regime has helped refine the delimitation of ice sheet maxima. Also... Read More about Landscapes at the periphery of glacierization - retrospect and prospect.

The glacial geomorphology of the Loch Lomond Stadial in Britain: a map and geographic information system resource of published evidence (2016)
Journal Article
Bickerdike, H., Evans, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., & Stokes, C. (2016). The glacial geomorphology of the Loch Lomond Stadial in Britain: a map and geographic information system resource of published evidence. Journal of Maps, 12(5), 1178-1186. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2016.1145149

The Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS) was an abrupt period of renewed cooling between 12.9 and 11.7 ka and has long been associated with the regrowth of glaciers in much of upland Britain. Mapping the glacial landforms associated with this period has been un...

Characteristics of recessional moraines at a temperate glacier in SE Iceland: Insights into patterns, rates and drivers of glacier retreat (2016)
Journal Article
Chandler, B., Evans, D., & Roberts, D. (2016). Characteristics of recessional moraines at a temperate glacier in SE Iceland: Insights into patterns, rates and drivers of glacier retreat. Quaternary Science Reviews, 135, 171-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.01.025

Icelandic glaciers are sensitive to climate variability on short-term timescales owing to their North Atlantic maritime setting, and have been undergoing ice-marginal retreat since the mid-1990s. Recent patterns, rates and drivers of ice-frontal retr...
