Journal Article
Zhao, C., King, M., Watson, C., Barletta, V., Bordoni, A., Dell, M., & Whitehouse, P. (2017). Rapid ice unloading in the Fleming Glacier region, southern Antarctic Peninsula, and its effect on bedrock uplift rates. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 473, 164-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.06.002

Rapid regional warming in the Antarctic Peninsula has led to the significant retreat and eventual collapse of several major ice shelves since the 1970s, triggering the subsequent acceleration and thinning of their feeding glaciers. The Wordie Ice She... Read More about Rapid ice unloading in the Fleming Glacier region, southern Antarctic Peninsula, and its effect on bedrock uplift rates.

Deglaciation of the Eurasian ice sheet complex (2017)
Journal Article
Patton, H., Hubbard, A., Andreassen, K., Auriac, A., Whitehouse, P., Stroeven, A., …Hall, A. (2017). Deglaciation of the Eurasian ice sheet complex. Quaternary Science Reviews, 169, 148-172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.05.019

The Eurasian ice sheet complex (EISC) was the third largest ice mass during the Last Glacial Maximum with a span of over 4500 km and responsible for around 20 m of eustatic sea-level lowering. Whilst recent terrestrial and marine empirical insights h... Read More about Deglaciation of the Eurasian ice sheet complex.

Ice sheet retreat and glacio-isostatic adjustment in Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica (2017)
Journal Article
Verleyen, E., Tavernier, I., Hodgson, D. A., Whitehouse, P. L., Kudoh, S., Imura, S., …Vyverman, W. (2017). Ice sheet retreat and glacio-isostatic adjustment in Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica. Quaternary Science Reviews, 169, 85-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.06.003

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet has relatively few field data to constrain its past volume and contribution to global sea-level change since the Last Glacial Maximum. We provide new data on deglaciation history and develop new relative sea-level (RSL) c... Read More about Ice sheet retreat and glacio-isostatic adjustment in Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica.

Current state and future perspectives on coupled ice-sheet – sea-level modelling (2017)
Journal Article

The interaction between ice-sheet growth and retreat and sea-level change has been an established field of research for many years. However, recent advances in numerical modelling have shed new light on the precise interaction of marine ice sheets wi...

A comparison of annual layer thickness model estimates with observational measurements using the Berkner Island ice core, Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 29(4), 382-393. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102017000025

A model to estimate the annual layer thickness of deposited snowfall at a deep ice core site, compacted by vertical strain with respect to depth, is assessed using ultra-high-resolution laboratory analytical techniques. A recently established techniq... Read More about A comparison of annual layer thickness model estimates with observational measurements using the Berkner Island ice core, Antarctica.

Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica (2017)
Journal Article
Whitehouse, P. L., Bentley, M. J., Vieli, A., Jamieson, S. S., Hein, A. S., & Sugden, D. E. (2017). Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 122(1), 371-397. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jf004121

The Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is hypothesized to have made a significant contribution to sea-level rise since the Last Glacial Maximum. Using a numerical flowline model we investigate the controls on grounding line motion across t...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 158, 58-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.09.028

The retreat history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is important for understanding rapid deglaciation, as well as to constrain numerical ice sheet models and ice loading models required for glacial isostatic adjustment modelling. There is particular debat... Read More about Deglacial history of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica from glacial geomorphology and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating.
