“…This included the activation of the Norwegian Channel ice stream (King et al, 1998;Sejrup et al, 2000), widespread expansion of ice into more southern parts of the basin (Ehlers et al, 1984;Cameron et al, 1987;Carr, 2004;Laban and van der Meer, 2004) and extensive generation of subglacial tunnel valleys parts of the British, Dutch and Danish sectors (Wingfield, 1990;Laban, 1995;Huuse and Lykke-Andersen, 2000; Kluiving et al, 2003;Praeg, 2003;Stewart and Lonergan, 2011).…”

“…They are considered to be stratigraphically equivalent to adjacent iceberg scours recognised within 3D seismic data (Graham, 2007;Graham et al, 2011) indicating possible glaciation during MIS 18 (Holmes, 2003;Graham, 2007 or within the 'Cromerian Complex' (Graham et al, 2011). Within the Southern North Sea, deposits that contain a glacigenic input have been identified from cores drilled on the Dogger Bank and are believed to be of early Middle Pleistocene age (Zagwijn, 1986;Laban and van der Meer, 2004).MIS 12 corresponds to the first basin-wide expansion of British and Scandinavian ice into the North Sea Basin. This included the activation of the Norwegian Channel ice stream (King et al, 1998;Sejrup et al, 2000), widespread expansion of ice into more southern parts of the basin (Ehlers et al, 1984;Cameron et al, 1987;Carr, 2004;Laban and van der Meer, 2004) and extensive generation of subglacial tunnel valleys parts of the British, Dutch and Danish sectors (Wingfield, 1990;Laban, 1995;Huuse and Lykke-Andersen, 2000; Kluiving et al, 2003;Praeg, 2003;Stewart and Lonergan, 2011).…”

This paper presents the outcome of a workshop, held in Berlin in February 2009, concerned with current research on the glacial history of northern Europe, including the British Isles. The methodologies presently used to resolve this topic are outlined. Particular attention is given to new analytical methods deriving from high resolution remote imaging of glacial terrain both on land and on the sea-bed, key new stratigraphic sections, higher resolution results from conventional geochronological methods like radiocarbon and more recently developed technologies such as luminescence and cosmogenic radionuclide dating. The relationships between the results derived from these two methods are discussed in further detail along with possible explanations for these differences. An outline of a 'most likely' glacial history of the Scandinavian and British and Irish Ice Sheets is presented along with possible links to global climate change as represented by the marine isotope (MIS) record. Tentative evidence for glaciation is identified in MIS 22, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 and correlations of 'phases' within the Last Glaciation are also explored for both the Scandinavian and British and Irish Ice Sheets. The results show that the character and extent of glaciation in different parts of the region are not synchronous and much more geochronological work is required before regional correlations can be established with confidence. Keywords: glaciation, marine isotope stages (MIS), Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS), British and Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS), Last Glacial Maximum Introduction and objectivesThe glaciation of northern Europe has been a subject of interest and debate for over 200 years and today, at a time of greater awareness to the consequences of climate change, the subject retains its relevance to science and society. With the development of new methodologies for dating glacial deposits and important new findings for modelling glacier response to climate change this subject requires re-evaluation and re-interpretation. Likewise it has been possible to identify critical issues that should be the focus for future research. Consequently, in February 2009 an exploratory workshop was held at the Freie Universität Berlin to examine the frequency and timing of glaciations in northern Europe (including Britain) during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The workshop was funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft/ German Research Foundation) and involved 24 participants. This issue of Quaternary Science Reviews includes a number of the contributions presented and discussed at the meeting along with certain invited papers that present new findings on the topic of the special issue. This paper will begin by briefly reviewing the contents of the issue giving particular attention to new and important findings. This will be followed by a section that will evaluate the methodologies currently being applied to understand the glaciations of northern Europe. Some of these methodologies, such as lithostratigraphy and morphostratig...

Dating constraints on the last British-Irish Ice Sheet: a map and database

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We present a collation of 975 published dates relevant to the timing of build-up and retreat of ice over the British Isles during the most recent glacial stage. The spatial distribution of dates is essential to interpreting the evolution of the ice sheet over time and space. For this reason the dates are presented as a map showing the spatial distribution across the UK and Ireland. Full documentation for each date, attributed to its source publication and detailing geographic location, the material dated, its stratigraphic position or setting, the dating technique, the dating result, errors and calibration, and comments pertinent to its interpretation, are included in the accompanying table. It is anticipated that this dataset will be a useful resource for Quaternary research in the UK and Ireland and is therefore available to download as a shapefile and/or PDF file. The map is presented at a scale of 1: 2,700,000, designed to be printed at A2 size.
