A chronology for North Sea Lobe advance and recession on the Lincolnshire and Norfolk coasts during MIS 2 and 6 (2018)
Journal Article
During the last (MIS 2) and older glaciations of the North Sea, a North Sea Lobe (NSL) of the British-Irish Ice Sheet flowed onshore and terminated on the lowlands of eastern England, constructing inset sequences of either substantial ice-marginal de...

Quantification of historical landscape change on the foreland of a receding polythermal glacier, Hørbyebreen, Svalbard (2018)
Journal Article
The assessment of multidecadal scale change in a polythermal glacial landsystem in the high Arctic is facilitated by a quantitative approach that utilises time series of aerial photographs, satellite images, digital elevation models, and field geomor...

The susceptibility of glacigenic deposits to liquefaction under seismic loading conditions: a case study relating to nuclear site characterization in West Cumbria (2018)
Journal Article
Previous research has established a chronostratigraphy of glacial/deglacial events together with a lithostratigraphical framework for the Quaternary deposits of the Sellafield area in West Cumbria. The glacial record is dominated by sediments and lan...

Ice marginal dynamics of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet in the southern North Sea: Ice limits, timing and the influence of the Dogger Bank (2018)
Journal Article
The southern North Sea is a particularly important area for understanding the behaviour of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) during the last glacial cycle. It preserves a record of the maximum extent of the eastern sector of the BIIS as well as evid...

Sedimentation during MIS 3 at the eastern margins of the Glacial Lake Humber basin, England (2018)
Journal Article
The stratigraphic sequence at North Cave, on the eastern margins of the Lake Humber basin, records the deposition of a fluvioperiglacial fan (LFs 1–4), with early sedimentation (LF1) dating to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 (optically stimulated lumine...

Glacial geomorphology of Teesdale, northern Pennines, England: Implications for upland styles of ice stream operation and deglaciation in the British-Irish Ice Sheet (2018)
Journal Article
The glacial geomorphology of Teesdale and the North Pennines uplands is analysed in order to decipher: a) the operation of easterly flowing palaeo-ice streams in the British-Irish Ice Sheet; and b) the style of regional deglaciation. Six landform cat...

Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial (2018)
Journal Article

Nature Geoscience, 11, 627-634. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0195-4During the Last Interglacial, global mean sea level reached approximately 6 to 9 m above the present level. This period of high sea level may have been punctuated by a fall of more than 4 m, but a cause for such a widespread sea-level fall has been e...

Glacial geomorphological mapping: A review of approaches and frameworks for best practice (2018)
Journal Article
Geomorphological mapping is a well-established method for examining earth surface processes and landscape evolution in a range of environmental contexts. In glacial research, it provides crucial data for a wide range of process-oriented studies and p...

Ice margin oscillations during deglaciation of the northern Irish Sea Basin (2018)
Journal Article
We present a new chronology to constrain ice‐margin retreat in the northern Irish Sea Basin. Estimates on the timing of ice thinning derived from surface exposure ages for boulders from the summits of the Isle of Man and south‐west Cumbria suggest th...

Submarginal debris transport and till formation in active temperate glacier systems: The southeast Iceland type locality (2018)
Journal Article
Exhaustive sedimentological analysis of freshly exposed subglacial surfaces and moraines in southern Iceland provides diagnostic sedimentological signatures of: a) debris transport pathways through active temperate glacier snouts; and b) till product...

The Glacial Geomorphology of the Ice Cap Piedmont Lobe Landsystem of East Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland (2018)
Journal Article
A surficial geology and geomorphology map of the forelands of the Sandfellsjökull and Oldufellsjökull piedmont lobes of the east Mýrdalsjökull ice cap is used to characterise the historical and modern landscape imprint in a glacial landsystems contex...

Trough geometry was a greater influence than climate-ocean forcing in regulating retreat of the marine-based Irish-Sea Ice Stream (2018)
Journal Article
Marine terminating ice streams are a major component of contemporary ice sheets and are likely to have a fundamental influence on their future evolution and concomitant contribution to sea-level rise. To accurately predict this evolution requires tha... Read More about Trough geometry was a greater influence than climate-ocean forcing in regulating retreat of the marine-based Irish-Sea Ice Stream.
Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review (2018)
Journal Article
Bedrock mega-grooves are assemblages of straight and parallel troughs eroded in bedrock, typically over 1000 m in length; most sites occur within the limits of the Last Glacial Maximum, both on- and off-shore. In this paper, we review the current und... Read More about Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review.
