Modelling Antarctic sea-level data to explore the possiblity of a dominant Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse IA (2007)
Journal Article
Bassett, S., Milne, G., Bentley, M., & Huybrechts, P. (2007). Modelling Antarctic sea-level data to explore the possiblity of a dominant Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse IA. Quaternary Science Reviews, 26(17-18), 2113-2127. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2007.06.011

We compare numerical predictions of glaciation-induced sea-level change to data from 8 locations around the Antarctic coast in order to test if the available data preclude the possibility of a dominant Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse IA (mw...

Journal Article
Siegert, M., Behar, A., Bentley, M., Blake, D., Bowden, S., Christoffersen, P., …Woodward, J. (2007). Exploration of Ellsworth Subglacial Lake: a concept paper on the development, organisation and execution of an experiment to explore, measure and sample the environment of a West Antarctic subglacial lake. Reviews in Environmental Science and Biotechnology, 6(1-3), 161-179. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11157-006-9109-9

Antarctic subglacial lakes have, over the past few years, been hypothesised to house unique forms of life and hold detailed sedimentary records of past climate change. Testing this hypothesis requires in situ examinations. The direct measurement of s...

George VI Ice Shelf: past history, present behaviour and potential mechanisms for future collapse. (2007)
Journal Article
Smith, J., Bentley, M., Hodgson, D., & Cook, A. (2007). George VI Ice Shelf: past history, present behaviour and potential mechanisms for future collapse. Antarctic Science, 19(1), 131-142. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102007000193

George VI Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, covering a total area of 25 000 km2. The northern ice front of George VI Ice Shelf presently marks the southernmost occurrence of recent ice-shelf retreat on t...

Glacial geomorphology and chronology of deglaciation, South Georgia, sub-Antarctic (2007)
Journal Article
Bentley, M., Evans, D., Fogwill, C., Hansom, J., Sugden, D., & Kubik, P. (2007). Glacial geomorphology and chronology of deglaciation, South Georgia, sub-Antarctic. Quaternary Science Reviews, 26(5-6), 644-677. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2006.11.019

We mapped and dated the glacial geomorphology of north-east South Georgia, in the maritime sub-Antarctic. The aim was to examine the timing of deglaciation of the island in the context of inter-hemispheric phasing of climate change. Former glacier li...
