“…In agreement with Toucanne et al (2008), we assume that the strengthening of the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver discharges from ca. 20 ka mainly resulted from the retreat of the mid-latitudinal European ice sheets and glaciers, as reported from Britain (McCabe and Clark, 1998;Bowen et al, 2002;McCabe et al, 2005;O'Cofaigh and Evans, 2007), Scandinavia (Dahlgren and Vorren, 2003;Rinterknecht et al, 2006), Poland (Marks, 2002) and the Alps (Hinderer, 2001;Ivy-Ochs et al, 2004), in response to the increase of the Northern Hemisphere summer insolation. The strong increase of the 'Fleuve Manche' activity from ca.…”

“…Scourse (1991), Scourse and Furze (2001), Hiemstra et al (2005) and Ó Cofaigh and Evans (2007) provide evidence that the BIIS reached the Scilly Isles and the south coast of Ireland after 20.2 14 C ka BP (23.9 cal ka BP). To the north, McCabe andClark (1998, 2003) and McCabe et al ( , 2005McCabe et al ( , 2007 (Thomas et al, 2004). Specifically, terrestrial plant remains from the basal layers of kettle basins date to the beginning of the late glacial interstadial at 14.0-14.4 and 14.2-15.0 cal.…”

At this time ice would have been streaming westwards from the upland dispersal centres in response to draw down into the deepening waters of the Irish Sea (cf.…”

S. 2006. Relative sea-level changes, glacial isostatic modelling and ice-sheet reconstructions from the British Isles since the Last Glacial Maximum.ABSTRACT: While contributing <1 m equivalent eustatic sea-level rise the British Isles ice sheet produced glacio-isostatic rebound in northern Britain of similar magnitude to eustatic sea-level change, or global meltwater influx, over the last 18 000 years. The resulting spatially variable relative sea-level changes combine with observations from far-field locations to produce a rigorous test for quantitative models of glacial isostatic adjustment, local ice-sheet history and global meltwater influx. After a review of the attributes of relative sea-level observations significant for constraining large-scale models of the isostatic adjustment process we summarise long records of relative sea-level change from the British Isles and far-field locations. We give an overview of different global theoretical models of the isostatic adjustment process before presenting intercomparisons of observed and predicted relative sea levels at sites in the British Isles and far-field for a range of Earth and ice model parameters in order to demonstrate model sensitivity and the resolving power available from using evidence from the British Isles. For the first time we show a good degree of fit between relative sealevel observations and predictions that are based upon global Earth and ice model parameters, independently derived from analysis of far-field data, with a terrain-corrected model of the British Isles ice sheet that includes extensive glaciation of the North Sea and western continental shelf, that does not assume isostatic equilibrium at the Last Glacial Maximum and keeps to trimline constraints of ice surface elevation. We do not attempt to identify a unique solution for the model lithosphere thickness parameter or the local-scale detail of the ice model in order to provide a fit for all sites, but argue that the next stage should be to incorporate an ice-sheet model that is based on quantitative, glaciological model simulations. We hope that this paper will stimulate this debate and help to integrate research in glacial geomorphology, glaciology, sea-level change, Earth rheology and quantitative modelling.
