Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients (2020)
Journal Article
Medeiros, A. S., Milošević, Đ., Francis, D. R., Maddison, E., Woodroffe, S., Long, A., …Axford, Y. (2021). Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients. Journal of Biogeography, 48(3), 511-525. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14015

Aim: While we understand broad climate drivers of insect distributions throughout the Arctic, less is known about the role of spatial processes in determining these relationships. As such, there is a need to understand how spatial controls may influe... Read More about Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients.

Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records (2020)
Journal Article
Larocca, L. J., Axford, Y., Woodroffe, S. A., Lasher, G. E., & Gawin, B. (2020). Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records. Quaternary Science Reviews, 246, Article 106529. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106529

Glaciers and ice caps (GICs) respond rapidly to changes in temperature and precipitation. Thus, records of their past fluctuations yield valuable information on past climate. However, relatively little is known about the long-term, Holocene history o... Read More about Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records.

Early Holocene Greenland-ice mass loss likely triggered earthquakes and tsunami (2020)
Journal Article
Steffen, R., Steffen, H., Weiss, R., Lecavalier, B. S., Milne, G. A., Woodroffe, S. A., & Bennike, O. (2020). Early Holocene Greenland-ice mass loss likely triggered earthquakes and tsunami. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 546, Article 116443. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116443

Due to their large mass, ice sheets induce significant stresses in the Earth's crust. Stress release during deglaciation can trigger large-magnitude earthquakes, as indicated by surface faults in northern Europe. Although glacially-induced stresses h...
