Deglaciation chronology of the Donegal Ice Centre, north‐west Ireland (2018)
Journal Article
Wilson, P., Ballantyne, C. K., Benetti, S., Small, D., Fabel, D., & Clark, C. D. (2018). Deglaciation chronology of the Donegal Ice Centre, north‐west Ireland. Journal of Quaternary Science, 34(1), 16-28. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3077

During the Last Glacial Maximum, Donegal in north‐west Ireland functioned as an independent centre of ice dispersal that separated and fed into the Donegal Bay Ice Lobe (sourced in the Irish Midlands) to the south and the Hebrides/Malin Sea Ice Strea...

Extent and retreat history of the Barra Fan Ice Stream offshore western Scotland and northern Ireland during the last glaciation (2018)
Journal Article

Extent and retreat history of the Barra Fan Ice Stream offshore western Scotland and northern Ireland during the last glaciation.

During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the marine-terminating Barra Fan Ice Stream (BFIS), a major conduit of the British Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS), drained much of western Scotland and northwest Ireland with ice streaming onto the continental shelf of t...

Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin (2018)
Journal Article
Chiverrell, R., Smedley, R., Small, D., Ballantyne, C., Burke, M., Callard, S., …Wilson, P. (2018). Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin. Journal of Quaternary Science, 33(7), 739-762. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3057

We present a new chronology to constrain ice‐margin retreat in the northern Irish Sea Basin. Estimates on the timing of ice thinning derived from surface exposure ages for boulders from the summits of the Isle of Man and south‐west Cumbria suggest th...

Trough geometry was a greater influence than climate-ocean forcing in regulating retreat of the marine-based Irish-Sea Ice Stream (2018)
Journal Article
Small, D., Smedley, R., Chiverrell, R., Scourse, J., Ó Cofaigh, C., Duller, G., …Clark, C. (2018). Trough geometry was a greater influence than climate-ocean forcing in regulating retreat of the marine-based Irish-Sea Ice Stream. GSA Bulletin, 130(11-12), 1981-1999. https://doi.org/10.1130/b31852.1

Marine terminating ice streams are a major component of contemporary ice sheets and are likely to have a fundamental influence on their future evolution and concomitant contribution to sea-level rise. To accurately predict this evolution requires tha...

The Last Scottish Ice Sheet (2018)
Journal Article
Ballantyne, C. K., & Small, D. (2018). The Last Scottish Ice Sheet. Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 110(1-2), 93-131. https://doi.org/10.1017/s1755691018000038

The last Scottish Ice Sheet (SIS) expanded from a pre-existing ice cap after ∼35 ka. Highland ice dominated, with subsequent build-up of a Southern Uplands ice mass. The Outer Hebrides, Skye, Mull, the Cairngorms and Shetland supported persistent ind... Read More about The Last Scottish Ice Sheet.
