Microscale evidence of liquefaction and its potential triggers during soft-bed deformation within subglacial traction tills (2017)
Journal Article

Published conceptual models argue that much of the forward motion of modern and ancient glaciers is accommodated by deformation of soft-sediments within the underlying bed. At a microscale this deformation results in the development of a range of duc...

BRITICE Glacial Map, version 2: a map and GIS database of glacial landforms of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet (2017)
Journal Article

During the last glaciation, most of the British Isles and the surrounding continental shelf were covered by the British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS). An earlier compilation from the existing literature (BRITICE version 1) assembled the relevant glacial geo...

Glacial landsystems, retreat dynamics and controls on Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas) glaciation in Britain (2017)
Journal Article
Bickerdike, H., Ó Cofaigh, C., Evans, D., & Stokes, C. (2018). Glacial landsystems, retreat dynamics and controls on Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas) glaciation in Britain. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 47(1), 202-224. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12259

Glacial geomorphology relating to the Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas) in Britain is used to construct five glacial landsystem models. These landsystems lie on a continuum of increasing ice thickness and decreasing topographic control and typify t...

Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland (2017)
Journal Article

A detailed structural glaciological study carried out on Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland reveals that recent flow within this maritime glacier is concentrated within a narrow corridor located along its central axis. This active corridor is responsible for... Read More about Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland.

Skaftafellsjökull, Iceland: Glacial geomorphology recording glacier recession since the Little Ice Age (2017)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Ewertowski, M., & Orton, C. (2017). Skaftafellsjökull, Iceland: Glacial geomorphology recording glacier recession since the Little Ice Age. Journal of Maps, 13(2), 358-368. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2017.1310676

A 1:5700 scale map of the recently deglaciated foreland of Skaftafellsjökull, Iceland as it appeared in 2007, depicts a typical active temperate glacial landsystem with a clear pattern of sequentially changing push moraine morphologies, including rem...

Structural architecture and glacitectonic evolution of the Mud Buttes cupola hill complex, southern Alberta, Canada (2017)
Journal Article

This paper presents the results of a detailed multidisciplinary study of the deformed bedrock and overlying Quaternary sediments exposed at the Mud Buttes in southern Alberta, Canada. This large, arcuate cupola hill is composed of intensely folded an...

Phased occupation and retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: geomorphic and seismostratigraphic evidence of a dynamic ice lobe (2017)
Journal Article

Along the terrestrial margin of the southern North Sea, previous studies of the MIS 2 glaciation impacting eastern Britain have played a significant role in the development of principles relating to ice sheet dynamics (e.g. deformable beds), and the...
