Refining the known extent of major onshore Quaternary glaciation in the UK — Types of evidence, nomenclature and uncertainty Open
Repeated cycles of Quaternary glaciation have had a major impact on the morphology and shallow sub-surface properties of much of the UK landscape and continental shelf. Understanding the extent of glaciation involves understanding of our l…

Capturing exposed bedrock in the upland regions of Great Britain: A geomorphometric focused random forest approach Open
Rock exposure distribution maps provide invaluable information for a range of applications from geohazard assessment through to aggregate resource potential assessments. Despite the usefulness of such information, it is only available to a…

Drag forces at the ice-sheet bed and resistance of hard-rock obstacles: the physics of glacial ripping Open
Glacial ripping involves glaciotectonic disintegration of rock hills and extensive removal of rock at the ice-sheet bed, triggered by hydraulic jacking caused by fluctuating water pressures. Evidence from eastern Sweden shows that glacial …
