Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes related to glacier surging in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (2015)
Journal Article
Streuff, K., Forwick, M., Szczuciński, W., Andreassen, K., & O'Cofaigh, C. (2015). Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes related to glacier surging in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard. Arktos (Cham. Internet), 1, Article 14. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41063-015-0003-y

High-resolution swath-bathymetry data from inner Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, reveal characteristic landform assemblages formed during and after surges of tidewater glaciers, and provide new insights into the dynamics of surging glaciers. Glacier front os... Read More about Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes related to glacier surging in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard.

Maximum extent and dynamic behaviour of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet west of Ireland (2015)
Journal Article
Peters, J., Benetti, S., Dunlop, P., & Ó Cofaigh, C. (2015). Maximum extent and dynamic behaviour of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet west of Ireland. Quaternary Science Reviews, 128, 48-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.09.015

A complete reconstruction of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) is hindered by uncertainty surrounding its offshore extent and dynamic behaviour. This study addresses this problem by reconstructing the depositional history of four sediment cores...

Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England (2015)
Journal Article
Livingstone, S., Roberts, D., Davies, B., Evans, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., & Gheorghiu, D. (2015). Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England. Journal of Quaternary Science, 30(8), 790-804. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2813

The deglacial history of the central sector of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet is poorly constrained, particularly along major ice-stream flow paths. The Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream (TGIS) was a major fast-flow conduit of the British–Irish Ice Sheet... Read More about Late Devensian deglaciation of the Tyne Gap Palaeo-Ice Stream, northern England.

A Marine Isotope Stage 4 age for Pleistocene raised beach deposits near Fethard, southern Ireland (2015)
Journal Article
Gallagher, C., Telfer, M., & Ó Cofaigh, C. (2015). A Marine Isotope Stage 4 age for Pleistocene raised beach deposits near Fethard, southern Ireland. Journal of Quaternary Science, 30(8), 754-763. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2808

Raised beach deposits around the Irish coast have been interpreted as interglacial or last glacial in age. On the south coast of Ireland, the Courtmacsherry Formation raised beach (CFB), near Fethard, County Wexford, was dated using optically stimula...

Ice sheet extension to the Celtic Sea shelf edge at the Last Glacial Maximum (2015)
Journal Article
Praeg, D., McCarron, S., Dove, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., Scott, G., Monteys, X., …Coxon, P. (2015). Ice sheet extension to the Celtic Sea shelf edge at the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews, 111, 107-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.12.010

Previous reconstructions of the British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) envisage ice streaming from the Irish Sea to the Celtic Sea at the Last Glacial Maximum, to a limit on the mid-shelf of the Irish-UK sectors. We present evidence from sediment cores and g... Read More about Ice sheet extension to the Celtic Sea shelf edge at the Last Glacial Maximum.
