How, when and where current mass flows in Martian gullies are driven by CO2 sublimation (2024)
Journal Article
Roelofs, L., Conway, S. J., de Haas, T., Dundas, C., Lewis, S. R., McElwaine, J., …Patel, M. R. (2024). How, when and where current mass flows in Martian gullies are driven by CO2 sublimation. Communications Earth & Environment, 5(1), Article 125. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01298-7

Martian gullies resemble water-carved gullies on Earth, yet their present-day activity cannot be explained by water-driven processes. The sublimation of CO2 has been proposed as an alternative driver for sediment transport, but how this mechanism wor...

Timescales of glacial isostatic adjustment in Greenland: is transient rheology required? (2024)
Journal Article
Pan, L., Mitrovica, J. X., Milne, G. A., Hoggard, M. J., & Woodroffe, S. A. (2024). Timescales of glacial isostatic adjustment in Greenland: is transient rheology required?. Geophysical Journal International, 237(2), 989-995. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggae095

The possibility of a transient rheological response to ice age loading, first discussed in the literature of the 1980s, has received renewed attention. Transient behaviour across centennial to millennial timescales has been invoked to reconcile appar...

Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic (2024)
Journal Article
Dale, L., Rawlinson, A., Knowles, P., Foulds, F., Ashton, N., Bridgland, D., & White, M. (2024). Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic. Antiquity, 98(398), 305-322. https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2024.30

Hypertrophic ‘giant’ handaxes are a rare component of Acheulean assemblages, yet have been central to debates relating to the social, cognitive and cultural ‘meaning’ of these enigmatic tools. The authors examine giant handaxes from the perspective o... Read More about Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic.

Subglacial valleys preserved in the highlands of south and east Greenland record restricted ice extent during past warmer climates (2024)
Journal Article

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a key contributor to contemporary global sea level rise, but its long-term history and response to episodes of warming in Earth's geological past remain uncertain. The terrain covered by the ice sheet comprises ∼ 79 % of Gr...

Deglaciation patterns in the Upper Zemmgrund, Austria: An exploration of clean-ice disintegration scenarios (2024)
Journal Article

The European Alps are rapidly losing glacier mass due to climatic warming and are anticipated to be largely ice-free by the year 2100. Long-term glacier monitoring in the Alps provides a record of anthropogenically-driven climate change since the Lit...
