The northern sector of the last British Ice Sheet: Maximum extent and demise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence that as sea level rose, a large marine embayment opened in the northern North Sea Basin, as far south as the Witch Ground Basin, forcing the two ice sheets to decouple rapidly along a north-south axis east of Shetland.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triggering mechanisms of slope instability processes and sediment failures on continental margins: a geotechnical approach

TL;DR: In this article, different slope failures events from different parts of the Costa target areas, which reflect diverse triggering mechanisms, were analysed to identify the geotechnical response of the sediment to different external mechanisms (earthquake, rapid sedimentation and gas hydrate melting).
Journal ArticleDOI

A new bathymetric compilation highlighting extensive paleo–ice sheet drainage on the continental shelf, South Georgia, sub‐Antarctica

TL;DR: In this paper, a grid derived from a new compilation of marine echo-sounding data sets has been used to visualize and map the geomorphology of the entire continental shelf around South Georgia at an unprecedented level of detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

The morphology, setting and processes of the Afen Slide

TL;DR: The Afen Slide was identified in 1996 during an environmental survey for the Atlantic Frontiers Environment Network, and the relative timing of various phases can be determined from the morphology, imaged using seabed picks from 3D exploration seismics, and high-resolution deep-tow boomer data as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pristine fjord landsystem revealed on the sea bed in the Summer Isles region, NW Scotland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present multibeam bathymetry and boomer seismic profiles from 200 km 2 of sea floor around the Summer Isles in NW Scotland, revealing an undisturbed marine landscape comprising overdeepened basins, grooves, moraines, pockmarks and slide scars.
