Evolution of subglacial bedforms along a paleo-ice stream, Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf (2002)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., Pudsey, C., Dowdeswell, J., & Morris, P. (2002). Evolution of subglacial bedforms along a paleo-ice stream, Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf. Geophysical Research Letters, 29(8), https://doi.org/10.1029/2001gl014488

Geophysical data from the Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf reveal streamlined subglacial bedforms in a cross-shelf trough. Bedforms exhibit progressive elongation with distance along the trough, and record flow of a paleo-ice stream from the Ant...

Deforming bed conditions associated with a major ice stream of the last British ice sheet (2001)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., & Evans, D. (2001). Deforming bed conditions associated with a major ice stream of the last British ice sheet. Geology, 29(9), 795-798. https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613%282001%29029%3C0795%3Adbcawa%3E2.0.co%3B2

The Irish Sea ice stream was the largest ice stream to drain the last British ice sheet, and around the margins of the Celtic Sea it deposited a shelly diamict facies that has been variously interpreted as subglacial till or distal glacial marine mud...
