The record of ice-sheet demise since the last glacial maximum (LGM) provides an opportunity to test the relative importance of instability mechanisms, including relative sea-level (RSL) change, controlling ice-sheet retreat. Here we examine the recor... Read More about Investigating the roles of relative sea-level change and glacio-isostatic adjustment on the retreat of a marine based ice stream in NW Scotland.

Local and Regional Constraints on Relative Sea-Level Changes in Southern Isle of Skye, Scotland, since the Last Glacial Maximum (2021)

New relative sea-level (RSL) data constrain the timing and magnitude of RSL changes in the southern Isle of Skye following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We identify a marine limit at ~23 m OD, indicating RSL ~20 m above present c. 15.1 ka. Isolatio...
