Internal dynamics condition centennial-scale oscillations in marine-based ice-stream retreat (2017)
Journal Article
Smedley, R., Chiverrell, R., Ballantyne, C., Burke, M., Clark, C., Duller, G., Fabel, D., McCarroll, D., Scourse, J., Small, D., & Thomas, G. (2017). Internal dynamics condition centennial-scale oscillations in marine-based ice-stream retreat. Geology, 45(9), 787-790. https://doi.org/10.1130/g38991.1

Rates of ice-stream retreat over decades can be determined from repeated satellite surveys and over millennia by paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Centennial time scales are an important temporal gap in geological observations of value in process u...

Cosmogenic exposure age constraints on deglaciation and flow behaviour of a marine-based ice stream in western Scotland, 21–16 ka (2017)
Journal Article
Small, D., Benetti, S., Dove, D., Ballantyne, C., Fabel, D., Clark, C., …Xu, S. (2017). Cosmogenic exposure age constraints on deglaciation and flow behaviour of a marine-based ice stream in western Scotland, 21–16 ka. Quaternary Science Reviews, 167, 30-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.04.021

Understanding how marine-based ice streams operated during episodes of deglaciation requires geochronological data that constrain both timing of deglaciation and changes in their flow behaviour, such as that from unconstrained ice streaming to topogr...

New age constraints for the limit of the British-Irish Ice Sheet on the Isles of Scilly (2017)
Journal Article
Smedley, R., Scourse, J., Small, D., Hiemstra, J., Duller, G., Bateman, M., …Xu, S. (2017). New age constraints for the limit of the British-Irish Ice Sheet on the Isles of Scilly. Journal of Quaternary Science, 32(1), 48-62. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2922

The southernmost terrestrial extent of the Irish Sea Ice Stream (ISIS), which drained a large proportion of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet, impinged on to the Isles of Scilly during Marine Isotope Stage 2. However, the age of this ice limit has bee... Read More about New age constraints for the limit of the British-Irish Ice Sheet on the Isles of Scilly.
