Tracking sediment delivery to central Baffin Bay during the past 40 kyrs: Insights from a multiproxy approach and new age model (2023)
Journal Article
Ownsworth, E., Selby, D., Lloyd, J., Knutz, P., Szidat, S., Andrews, J., & Ó Cofaigh, C. (2023). Tracking sediment delivery to central Baffin Bay during the past 40 kyrs: Insights from a multiproxy approach and new age model. Quaternary Science Reviews, 308, Article 108082. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.108082

Reconstructing former ice sheet history and glaciogenic sediment fluxes surrounding Baffin Bay during and since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is a major scientific challenge. Here, a new multi-proxy analysis of sediments from a central Baffin Bay (B...

Controls on the formation of turbidity current channels associated with marine-terminating glaciers and ice sheets (2019)
Journal Article
Pope, E. L., Normandeau, A., Ó Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C. R., & Talling, P. J. (2019). Controls on the formation of turbidity current channels associated with marine-terminating glaciers and ice sheets. Marine Geology, 415, Article 105951. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2019.05.010

Submarine channels, and the sediment density flows which form them, act as conduits for the transport of sediment, macro-nutrients, fresher water and organic matter from the coast to the deep sea. These systems are therefore significant pathways for... Read More about Controls on the formation of turbidity current channels associated with marine-terminating glaciers and ice sheets.

The relationship between ice sheets and submarine mass movements in the Nordic Seas during the Quaternary (2018)
Journal Article
Pope, E. L., Talling, P. J., & Ó Cofaigh, C. (2018). The relationship between ice sheets and submarine mass movements in the Nordic Seas during the Quaternary. Earth-Science Reviews, 178, 208-256. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2018.01.007

Quaternary evolution of high-latitude margins has, to a large degree been shaped by the advance and retreat of ice sheets. Our understanding of these margins and the role of ice sheets is predominantly derived from the polar North Atlantic during the...
