Brine, englacial structure and basal properties near the terminus of McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica

Annals of Glaciology, 2017
We collected ~1300 km of ground-penetrating radar profiles over McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, using frequencies between 40 and 400 MHz to determine extent, continuity and depth to the brine.

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Historical geomorphology and structural glaciology of south-western Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Antarctica

Journal of Maps
This study presents a 1:8000 geomorphological and structural glaciological map of south-western Admiralty Bay, King George Island, based on a 1979 aerial survey. The map covers an area of 37.9 km2 and documents 16 462 structures and landforms.

Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)

Journal of Maps, 2017
Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles ...

First finding of Icelandic tephra in Czechia: Vedde Ash identified in palaeolake sediments of Stará Jímka

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we report the first documented occurrence of the Icelandic Vedde Ash (VA) in the Bohemian Forest, identified within palaeolake sediments from Stará Jímka, Czechia, representing the first Icelandic tephra layer identified in Czechia.

Review of the Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations in Finland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations were deposited in southern and eastern Finland during the Weichselian deglaciation. These comprise three major ridges (I, II, and III Salpausselkäs) and their eastern counterparts (Tuupovaara, Koitere, and Pielisjärvi), together forming laterally continuous ice‐marginal formations extending ...

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Structural characteristics of flow units in Svalbard valley glaciers and their utility for investigating ice-dynamic changes over centennial timescales

Journal of Glaciology
The aim of this paper is to characterise the internal structures and ice-flow history of representative valley glaciers in Svalbard and infer from them dynamic changes over centennial timescales.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.
