Modelling erratic dispersal accounting for shifting ice flow geometries: A new method and explanations of erratic dispersal of the British–Irish Ice Sheet

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial erratics are geologically distinctive rocks transported away from their source area by ice sheets and deposited in lithologically different bedrock areas. They have attracted much scientific curiosity with >24 000 observations across the British Isles.

Stratigraphy and geomorphology of Des‐Cubierta Cave (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid, Spain): Geological insights into a Neanderthal symbolic accumulation of large crania

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Des‐Cubierta Cave, part of the Calvero de la Higuera complex, is situated in the intramountainous upper valley of the Lozoya River within the Guadarrama Range. The cave's geological, palaeontological, and archaeological record reveals a complex history of sedimentary and anthropogenic processes spanning hundreds of thousands of years ...

Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.

Multi‐million‐year evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet in Inglefield Land, North Greenland

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Information on past sensitivity of the Greenland Ice Sheet to climate change is of importance for optimizing models simulating the future evolution of ice mass loss. While the ice‐sheet change during the Lateglacial and Holocene is relatively well constrained, the long‐term (multi‐million‐year) evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet remains ...

Vegetation and environmental dynamics in the central part of the Kola Peninsula during the past 13.3 ka as reflected by ancient plant DNA on sediments from Lake Imandra

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first high‐resolution reconstruction of the vegetation and environmental changes during the last ca 13 300 cal a BP in the central part of the Kola Peninsula (NW Russia) was reconstructed based on sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding on sediment core Co1410 from Lake Imandra.
