“…14). It is based on data reviewed by Rozycki (1972), Liedtke (1975), Bowen et al (1986), Eissmann (1986), Houmark-Nielsen (1987, McCabe (1987), Long et al (1988), Petersen and Kronborg (1991) and Kozarski (1992). The LGM corresponds with the Jylland phase (Main Stationary Line) in Denmark, the Brandenburg phase in Germany, the Leszno phase in Poland, the South Irish End Moraine in Ireland and the Dimlington phase in the UK.…”

“…This formation is of glacilacustrine and glacimarine origin and thought to record the advance of the British Ice Sheet during the late Devensian (Cameron et al, 1987;Long et al, 1988). Glacial deposition during the LGM is thought to be represented by the Cape Shore, Coal Pit and Bolders Bank Formations.…”

“…This supports the reconstruction of Ehlers and Wingfield (1991) for the southernmost part of the North Sea based upon the distribution of Dimlington Stadial tunnel valleys but questions their restricted ice limits proposed further north based on the Wee Bankie Formation (cf. Long et al, 1988).…”

This paper reviews the evidence presently available (as at December 2003) in an effort to stimulate further research on the last British Ice Sheet and promote a reconstruction of ice sheet behaviour based on glacial geology and geomorphology. The wide range of evidence that has been scrutinized for inclusion on the glacial map is assessed with respect to the variability of its quality and quantity and the existing controversies in ice sheet reconstructions. Landforms interpreted as being of unequivocal ice-marginal origin (moraines, ice-contact glacifluvial landforms and lateral meltwater channels) and till sheet margins are used in conjunction with available chronological control to locate former glacier and ice-sheet margins throughout the last glacial cycle. Subglacial landforms (drumlins, flutings and eskers) have been used to demarcate former flow patterns within the ice sheet. The compilation of evidence in a regional map is crucial to any future reconstructions of palaeo-ice sheet dynamics and will provide a clearer understanding of ice sheet configuration, ice divide migration and ice thickness and coverage for the British Ice Sheet as it evolved through the last glacial cycle.2

“…To the south, within the Dutch sector, Beets et al (2005) have identified a MIS 8 till based upon AAR dating of mollusc shells and foraminifera tests although previously this till was attributed to the younger 'Saalian' (MIS 6) glaciation (Ehlers, 1990;Carr, 2004). The precise configuration of the Scandinavian and British ice sheets in the North Sea during the Saalian has been debated extensively (Long et al, 1988;Rappol et al, 1989;Laban, 1995;Carr, 2004). In the Southern North Sea, the presence of the Cleaver Bank Formation suggests that ice-free glaciolacustrine conditions prevailed across much of the region at this time (Rappol et al, 1989;Cameron et al, 1992;Laban, 1995;Busschers et al, 2008;Davies et al, 2012).…”

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...
