Oscillating retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet on the continental shelf offshore Galway Bay, western Ireland (2019)
Journal Article

During the Last Glacial Maximum, the British-Irish Ice Sheet extended across the continental shelf offshore of Galway Bay, western Ireland, and reached a maximum westward extent on the Porcupine Bank. New marine geophysical data, sediment cores and r... Read More about Oscillating retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet on the continental shelf offshore Galway Bay, western Ireland.

Late Quaternary sea-level change and evolution of Belfast Lough, Northern Ireland: new offshore evidence and implications for sea-level reconstruction (2019)
Journal Article

The interplay of eustatic and isostatic factors causes complex relative sea‐level (RSL) histories, particularly in paraglacial settings. In this context the past record of RSL is important in understanding ice‐sheet history, earth rheology and result...

Ice-stream demise dynamically conditioned by trough shape and bed strength (2019)
Journal Article

Ice sheet mass loss is currently dominated by fast-flowing glaciers (ice streams) terminating in the ocean as ice shelves and resting on beds below sea level. The factors controlling ice-stream flow and retreat over longer time scales (>100 years), e... Read More about Ice-stream demise dynamically conditioned by trough shape and bed strength.

Advance and retreat of the marine-terminating Irish Sea Ice Stream into the Celtic Sea during the last glacial: Timing and maximum extent (2019)
Journal Article

The dynamics of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) during the Last Glacial were conditioned by marine-based ice streams, the largest of which by far was the Irish Sea Ice Stream (ISIS) which drained southwest across the Celtic shelf. The maximum exte... Read More about Advance and retreat of the marine-terminating Irish Sea Ice Stream into the Celtic Sea during the last glacial: Timing and maximum extent.

Early deglaciation of the British-Irish Ice Sheet on the Atlantic shelf northwest of Ireland driven by glacioisostatic depression and high relative sea level (2019)
Journal Article

Understanding the triggers and pace of marine-based ice sheet decay is critical for constraining the future mass loss and dynamic behaviour of marine-based sectors of the large polar ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Numerical models which seek...

The mixed‐bed glacial landform imprint of the North Sea Lobe in the western North Sea (2019)
Journal Article

During the last glacial cycle an intriguing feature of the British‐Irish Ice Sheet was the North Sea Lobe (NSL); fed from the Firth of Forth and which flowed south and parallel to the English east coast. The controls on the formation and behaviour of... Read More about The mixed‐bed glacial landform imprint of the North Sea Lobe in the western North Sea.
