Journal Article
Darvill, C., Bentley, M., Stokes, C., Hein, A., & Rodés, A. (2015). Extensive MIS 3 glaciation in southernmost Patagonia revealed by cosmogenic nuclide dating of outwash sediments. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 429, 157-169. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2015.07.030

The timing and extent of former glacial advances can demonstrate leads and lags during 2 periods of climatic change and their forcing, but this requires robust glacial chronologies. In 3 parts of southernmost Patagonia, dating pre-global Last Glacial...

The surficial and subglacial geomorphology of ∼220,000 km2 of western Dronning Maud Land (WDML), Antarctica, is presented at a scale of 1:750,000. The mapped area includes the Stancomb-Wills Glacier north of 75°25′S and follows the grounded ice margi...

An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes (2015)
Journal Article
Livingstone, S., Storrar, R., Hillier, J., Stokes, C., Clark, C., & Tarasov, L. (2015). An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes. Geomorphology, 246, 104-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.06.016

Eskers record the signature of channelisedmeltwater drainage during deglaciation providing vital information on the nature and evolution of subglacial drainage. In this paper, we compare the spatial pattern of eskers beneath the former Laurentide Ice... Read More about An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes.

On the Reconstruction of Palaeo-Ice Sheets: Recent Advances and Future Challenges (2015)
Journal Article

Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past, present and future. The significance of palaeo-ice sheets is further underlin... Read More about On the Reconstruction of Palaeo-Ice Sheets: Recent Advances and Future Challenges.

Controls on the location, morphology and evolution of complex esker systems at decadal timescales, Breiðamerkurjökull, southeast Iceland (2015)
Journal Article

Basal topographic controls on rapid retreat of Humboldt Glacier, northern Greenland (2015)
Journal Article

Discharge from marine-terminating outlet glaciers accounts for up to half the recent mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet, yet the causal factors are not fully understood. Here we assess the factors controlling the behaviour of Humboldt Glacier (HG... Read More about Basal topographic controls on rapid retreat of Humboldt Glacier, northern Greenland.

Geomorphology and weathering characteristics of erratic boulder trains on Tierra del Fuego, southernmost South America: implications for dating of glacial deposits (2015)
Journal Article

Erratic boulder trains (EBTs) are a useful glacial geomorphological feature because they reveal former ice flow trajectories and can be targeted for cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating. However, understanding how they are transported and deposited is...
