Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Stokes, C., Ross, N., Rippin, D., Bingham, R., Wilson, D., …Bentley, M. (2014). The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed. Antarctic Science, 26(6), 724-741. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102014000212

In 1976, David Sugden and Brian John developed a classification for Antarctic landscapes of glacial erosion based upon exposed and eroded coastal topography, providing insight into the past glacial dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. We extend this... Read More about The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed.

Terrestrial and submarine evidence for the extent and timing of the Last Glacial Maximum and the onset of deglaciation on the maritime-Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands (2014)
Journal Article

Terrestrial and submarine evidence for the extent and timing of the Last Glacial Maximum and the onset of deglaciation on the maritime-Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands. Quaternary Science Reviews, 100, 137-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.12.001

This paper is the maritime and sub–Antarctic contribution to the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) Past Antarctic Ice Sheet Dynamics (PAIS) community Antarctic Ice Sheet reconstruction. The overarching aim for all sectors of Antarcti...

A community-based geological reconstruction of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum (2014)
Journal Article
Bentley, M., Ó Cofaigh, C., Anderson, J., Conway, H., Davies, B., Graham, A., …Zwartz, D. (2014). A community-based geological reconstruction of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews, 100, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.06.025

A robust understanding of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglacial history since the Last Glacial Maximum is important in order to constrain ice sheet and glacial-isostatic adjustment models, and to explore the forcing mechanisms responsible for ice sheet retre...

Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords (2014)
Journal Article
Hodgson, D., Graham, A., Griffiths, H., Roberts, S., Ó Cofaigh, C., Bentley, M., & Evans, D. (2014). Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords. Quaternary Science Reviews, 89, 129-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.12.005

We present multibeam swath bathymetric surveys of the major fjords surrounding the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia to characterise the glacial geomorphology and to identify the relative timings and extent of past glacial advance and retreat. Ba... Read More about Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords.

Rapid Thinning of Pine Island Glacier in the Early Holocene (2014)
Journal Article
Johnson, J., Bentley, M., Smith, J., Finkel, R., Rood, D., Gohl, K., …Schaefer, J. (2014). Rapid Thinning of Pine Island Glacier in the Early Holocene. Science, 343(6174), 999-1001. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1247385

Pine Island Glacier, a major outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, has been undergoing rapid thinning and retreat for the past two decades. We demonstrate, using glacial-geological and geochronological data, that Pine Island Glacier (PIG) also expe... Read More about Rapid Thinning of Pine Island Glacier in the Early Holocene.

A glacial geomorphological map of the southernmost ice lobes of Patagonia: the Bahía Inútil - San Sebastián, Magellan, Otway, Skyring and Bella Vista lobes (2014)
Journal Article
Darvill, C., Stokes, C., Bentley, M., & Lovell, H. (2014). A glacial geomorphological map of the southernmost ice lobes of Patagonia: the Bahía Inútil - San Sebastián, Magellan, Otway, Skyring and Bella Vista lobes. Journal of Maps, 10(3), 500-520. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2014.890134

This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of the landforms created by five large ice lobes that extended eastwards from the southernmost reaches of the Patagonian Ice Sheet during the Quaternary period. The study is focussed on Tierra del Fu...
