The last Eurasian ice sheets - a chronological database and time-slice reconstruction, DATED-1
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new time-slice reconstruction of the Eurasian ice sheets (British-Irish, Svalbard-Barents-Kara Seas and Scandinavian) documenting the spatial evolution of these interconnected ice sheets every 1000 years from 25 to 10 years and at four selected time periods back to 40 years.

TL;DR: It is argued that for marine organisms the genetic signatures of northern periglacial and southern refugia can be distinguished from one another, giving credence to recent climatic reconstructions with less extensive glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern and timing of retreat of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the demise of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) and present palaeo-glaciological maps of retreat stages between 27 and 15 ka BP.

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.

The configuration of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets through the Quaternary.

TL;DR: A synthesis of empirical data and numerical modelling results related to pre-LGM ice sheets to produce new hypotheses regarding their extent in the Northern Hemisphere at 17 time-slices that span the Quaternary shows pronounced ice-sheet asymmetry within the last glacial cycle and significant variations in ice-marginal positions between older glacial cycles.

Oxygen isotope calibration of the onset of ice-rafting and history of glaciation in the North Atlantic region
Nicholas J Shackleton,Jan Backman,Jan Backman,H. Zimmerman,Dennis V. Kent,M.A. Hall,David G Roberts,Detmar Schnitker,Jack G. Baldauf,A. Desprairies,R. Homrighausen,P. Huddlestun,J.B. Keene,A. J. Kaltenback,K.A.O. Krumsiek,Andrew C. Morton,John W. Murray,J. Westberg-Smith +17 more
TL;DR: The first major horizon of ice-rafting occurred at about 2.4 Myr, and was preceded by a minor pulse of icerafting at 2.5 Myr as discussed by the authors, and the carbon isotope record shows that the site has been bathed by a water mass of similar characteristics to present-day North Atlantic deep water at least since 3.5

Late Devensian and Holocene shorelines of the British Isles and North Sea from models of glacio-hydro-isostatic rebound
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the evolution of the coastlines of the British Isles and the Irish and Celtic Seas through time using a geodesic model, showing that the sea-level change is largely due to the crustal rebound from the glacial unloading of northern Britain and the concomitant melt-water loading of the adjacent seas and Atlantic Ocean.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the geological observations and interpretations regarding the size and timing of the Late Weichselian Barents ice sheet, combined with numerical modelling of its formation in order to produce a reconstruction of ice sheet extent and behaviour.

Major pathways of Atlantic water in the northern North Atlantic and Nordic Seas toward Arctic
Kjell Arild Orvik,P. P. Niiler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major pathways of near-surface Atlantic water in the northern North Atlantic and Nordic Seas are identified as current speeds above 30 cm/s, using 1014 Lagrangian drifters combined with previously published hydrography.
