The Causes and Implications of Microstructures in Glacial Sediments [PDF]
, 1998 This thesis examines how microstructures in glaciogenic sediments reflect the processes forming them, and how these microstructures then affect the conditions around them, through a series of field studies, laboratory tests, models, and statistical ...

An holistic approach to mapping the Quaternary geology and reconstructing the last glaciation of West County Mayo, Ireland, using satellite remote sensing and 'conventional' mapping techniques [PDF]
, 2002 PhDThe Quaternary geology of West County Mayo, Ireland, has appeared in the literature over 30 times since Close's account in 1867. Various glacial reconstructions have been proposed due to i) the complex sedimentology and morphology of the area, ii ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance [PDF]
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

A methodology for the investigation of land form-sediment relationships in British glaciated valleys. [PDF]
, 1989 PhDRecent progress in the understanding of the processes and products of glacial deposition in valleys, based mainly on work in actively glaciated environments, has led to the development of a general model of glacial valley landform-sediment ...

Emergence of the Shackleton Range from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to glacial erosion [PDF]
, 2014 This paper explores the long-term evolution of a subglacial fjord landscape in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet ...

A comparison of glacial and paraglacial denudation responses to rapid glacial retreat
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Glacier thinning and retreat drives initial acceleration of glacier sliding and erosion, de-buttressing of steep valley walls, and destabilization of ice-marginal deposits and bedrock, which can lead to massive rock avalanching and accelerated incision ...

A model for the formation of the Pradol (Pradolino) dry valley in W Slovenia and NE Italy
Geologija, 2021 In tectonically active mountain ranges, the landscape is shaped by the interplay of erosion/sedimentation and tectonically driven crustal deformation. Characteristic landforms such as moraines, wind gaps, fault scarps, and river terraces can be used to

Linkages between geochemistry and microbiology in a proglacial terrain in the High Arctic
Annals of Glaciology, 2018 Proglacial environments are ideal for studying the development of soils through the changes of rocks exposed by glacier retreat to weathering and microbial processes. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) contents as well as soil pH and soil elemental compositions
