Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips, E., Everest, J., Evans, D. J., Finlayson, A., Ewertowski, M., Guild, A., & Jones, L. (2017). Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 42(13), 1901-1922. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4145

A detailed structural glaciological study carried out on Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland reveals that recent flow within this maritime glacier is concentrated within a narrow corridor located along its central axis. This active corridor is responsible for... Read More about Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland.

Structural architecture and glacitectonic evolution of the Mud Buttes cupola hill complex, southern Alberta, Canada (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips, E., Evans, D. J., Atkinson, N., & Kendall, A. (2017). Structural architecture and glacitectonic evolution of the Mud Buttes cupola hill complex, southern Alberta, Canada. Quaternary Science Reviews, 164, 110-139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.03.027

This paper presents the results of a detailed multidisciplinary study of the deformed bedrock and overlying Quaternary sediments exposed at the Mud Buttes in southern Alberta, Canada. This large, arcuate cupola hill is composed of intensely folded an...

Phased occupation and retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: geomorphic and seismostratigraphic evidence of a dynamic ice lobe (2017)
Journal Article
Dove, D., Evans, D., Lee, J., Roberts, D., Tappin, D., Mellett, C., …Callard, S. (2017). Phased occupation and retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: geomorphic and seismostratigraphic evidence of a dynamic ice lobe. Quaternary Science Reviews, 163, 114-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.03.006

Along the terrestrial margin of the southern North Sea, previous studies of the MIS 2 glaciation impacting eastern Britain have played a significant role in the development of principles relating to ice sheet dynamics (e.g. deformable beds), and the...

Testing models of ice cap extent, South Georgia, sub-Antarctic (2016)
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...
