Fossils from Quaternary fluvial archives: sources of biostratigraphical, biogeographical and palaeoclimatic evidence (2017)
Journal Article
White, T., Bridgland, D., Limondin-Lozouet, N., & Schreve, D. (2017). Fossils from Quaternary fluvial archives: sources of biostratigraphical, biogeographical and palaeoclimatic evidence. Quaternary Science Reviews, 166, 150-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.04.016

Fluvial sedimentary archives have the potential to preserve a wide variety of palaeontological evidence, ranging from robust bones and teeth found in coarse gravel aggradations to delicate insect remains and plant macrofossils from fine-grained depos...

Physical theory for near-bed turbulent particle suspension capacity (2017)
Journal Article
Eggenhuisen, J. T., Cartigny, M. J., & de Leeuw, J. (2017). Physical theory for near-bed turbulent particle suspension capacity. Earth Surface Dynamics, 5(2), 269-281. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-5-269-2017

The inability to capture the physics of solid-particle suspension in turbulent fluids in simple formulas is holding back the application of multiphase fluid dynamics techniques to many practical problems in nature and society involving particle suspe...

The timing and consequences of the blockage of the Humber Gap by the last British−Irish Ice Sheet (2017)
Journal Article
Bateman, M. D., Evans, D. J., Roberts, D. H., Medialdea, A., Ely, J., & Clark, C. D. (2018). The timing and consequences of the blockage of the Humber Gap by the last British−Irish Ice Sheet. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 47(1), 41-61. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12256

The eastern England terrestrial glacial sequences are critical to the spatial and temporal reconstruction of the last British−Irish Ice sheet (BIIS). Understanding glacial behaviour in the area of the Humber Gap is key as its blockage by ice created...

Deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum (2017)
Journal Article
Stokes, C. (2017). Deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum. Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 43(2), 377-428. https://doi.org/10.18172/cig.3237

The last deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was associated with major reorganisations in the ocean-climate system and its retreat also represents a valuable analogue for understanding the rates and mechanisms of ice sheet collapse. This p... Read More about Deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the Last Glacial Maximum.

Exploring mechanisms of compaction in salt-marsh sediments using Common Era relative sea-level reconstructions (2017)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Kemp, A., Hawkes, A., Engelhart, S., Vane, C., Cahill, N., …Horton, B. (2017). Exploring mechanisms of compaction in salt-marsh sediments using Common Era relative sea-level reconstructions. Quaternary Science Reviews, 167, 96-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.04.027

Salt-marsh sediments provide precise and near-continuous reconstructions of Common Era relative sea level (RSL). However, organic and low-density salt-marsh sediments are prone to compaction processes that cause post-depositional distortion of the st...

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...

Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips, E., Everest, J., Evans, D. J., Finlayson, A., Ewertowski, M., Guild, A., & Jones, L. (2017). Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 42(13), 1901-1922. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4145

A detailed structural glaciological study carried out on Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland reveals that recent flow within this maritime glacier is concentrated within a narrow corridor located along its central axis. This active corridor is responsible for... Read More about Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland.

‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North (2017)
Journal Article
Steinberg, P., & Kristoffersen, B. (2017). ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 42(4), 625-641. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12184

This paper explores how ‘ice’ is woven into the spaces and practices of the state in Norway and Canada and, specifically, how representations of the sea ice edge become political agents in that process. We focus in particular on how these states have... Read More about ‘The ice edge is lost … nature moved it’: mapping ice as state practice in the Canadian and Norwegian North.
