Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum (2014)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., Davies, B., Livingstone, S., Smith, J., Johnson, J., Hocking, E., …Simms, A. (2014). Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews, 100, 87-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.06.023

This paper compiles and reviews marine and terrestrial data constraining the dimensions and configuration of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through deglaciation to the present day. These data are used to... Read More about Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum.

Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords (2014)
Journal Article
Hodgson, D., Graham, A., Griffiths, H., Roberts, S., Ó Cofaigh, C., Bentley, M., & Evans, D. (2014). Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords. Quaternary Science Reviews, 89, 129-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.12.005

We present multibeam swath bathymetric surveys of the major fjords surrounding the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia to characterise the glacial geomorphology and to identify the relative timings and extent of past glacial advance and retreat. Ba... Read More about Glacial history of sub-Antarctic South Georgia based on the submarine geomorphology of its fjords.

Understanding controls on rapid ice-stream retreat during the last deglaciation of Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, using a numerical model (2014)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Vieli, A., Ó Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C., Livingstone, S., & Hillenbrand, C. (2014). Understanding controls on rapid ice-stream retreat during the last deglaciation of Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, using a numerical model. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 119(2), 247-263. https://doi.org/10.1002/2013jf002934

Using a one-dimensional numerical model of ice-stream flow with robust grounding-line dynamics, we explore controls on paleo-ice-stream retreat in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, during the last deglaciation. Landforms on the continental shelf constrain...

Glacial geomorphology of terrestrial- terminating fast flow lobes/ice stream margins in the southwest Laurentide Ice Sheet (2014)
Journal Article

Glacial geomorphological mapping of southern Alberta, Canada, reveals landform assemblages that are diagnostic of terrestrial-terminating ice streams/fast flowing outlet glaciers with lobate snouts. Spatial variability in features that comprise the l... Read More about Glacial geomorphology of terrestrial- terminating fast flow lobes/ice stream margins in the southwest Laurentide Ice Sheet.

This paper presents a detailed glacial Main Map of the Great Glen region of Scotland, UK, covering an area of over 6800 km2 extending from 56°34′7″ to 57°41′1″ N and from 3°44′2″ to 5°33′24″ W. This represents the first extensive mapping of the glaci... Read More about Glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen Region of Scotland.
