Ice-stream stability on a reverse bed slope (2012)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Vieli, A., Livingstone, S., Ó Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C., Hillenbrand, C., & Dowdeswell, J. (2012). Ice-stream stability on a reverse bed slope. Nature Geoscience, 5(11), 799-802. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1600

Marine-based ice streams whose beds deepen inland are thought to be inherently unstable. This instability is of particular concern because significant portions of the marine-based West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are losing mass and their retr...

Dynamics of the North American Ice Sheet complex during its inception and build-up to the Last Glacial Maximum (2012)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Tarasov, L., & Dyke, A. (2012). Dynamics of the North American Ice Sheet complex during its inception and build-up to the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews, 50, 86-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.07.009

The North American Ice Sheet Complex played a major role in global sea level fluctuations during the Late Quaternary but our knowledge of its dynamics is based mostly on its demise from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), a period characterised by non-li...

Evidence for rapid ice flow and proglacial lake evolution around the central Strait of Magellan region, southernmost Patagonia (2012)
Journal Article
Lovell, H., Stokes, C., Bentley, M., & Benn, D. (2012). Evidence for rapid ice flow and proglacial lake evolution around the central Strait of Magellan region, southernmost Patagonia. Journal of Quaternary Science, 27(6), 625-638. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2555

This paper presents a detailed palaeoglaciological reconstruction of ice sheet dynamics in the Seno Skyring, Seno Otway and Strait of Magellan region of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet, with a particular focus on previously hypothesised zones of rapi...

Ice-stream flow switching during deglaciation of the southwestern Barents Sea (2012)
Journal Article
Winsborrow, M., Stokes, C., & Andreassen, K. (2012). Ice-stream flow switching during deglaciation of the southwestern Barents Sea. GSA Bulletin, 124(3/4), 275-290. https://doi.org/10.1130/b30416.1

Ice streams dominate the discharge of continental ice sheets. Recent observations and reconstructions have revealed that large-scale reorganizations in their flow trajectory (flow switching) can occur over relatively short time scales. However, the u...

Geophysical surveys of the sediments of Loch Ness, Scotland: implications for the deglaciation of the Moray Firth Ice Stream, British-Irish Ice Sheet (2012)
Journal Article
Turner, A., Woodward, J., Dunning, S., Shine, A., Stokes, C., & O'Cofaigh, C. (2012). Geophysical surveys of the sediments of Loch Ness, Scotland: implications for the deglaciation of the Moray Firth Ice Stream, British-Irish Ice Sheet. Journal of Quaternary Science, 27(2), 221-232. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1538

We present results from three geophysical campaigns using high-resolution sub-bottom profiling to image sediments deposited in Loch Ness, Scotland. Sonar profiles show distinct packages of sediment, providing insight into the loch's deglacial history...

Antarctic palaeo-ice streams (2012)
Journal Article
Livingstone, S., O'Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C., Hillenbrand, C., Vieli, A., & Jamieson, S. (2012). Antarctic palaeo-ice streams. Earth-Science Reviews, 111(1-2), 90-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2011.10.003

We review the geomorphological, sedimentological and chronological evidence for palaeo-ice streams on the continental shelf of Antarctica and use this information to investigate basal conditions and processes, and to identify factors controlling grou...

A glacial geomorphological map of the Seno Skyring-Seno Otway-Strait of Magellan region, southernmost Patagonia (2012)
Journal Article

This paper presents a detailed glacial geomorphological map covering over 16,000 km of the Seno Skyring-Seno Otway-Strait of Magellan region in southernmost Patagonia. It builds on previously published maps produced at a variety of scales and is re-m...
