The evolution and dynamics of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) have hitherto largely
been reconstructed from onshore and shallow marine glacial geological and …

The Schmidt hammer is a relatively cheap, portable, sturdy instrument with proven value
over the last two decades or so in rapidly dating coarse inorganic deposits of diverse origins …

The Younger Dryas (YD) was a period of rapid climate cooling that occurred at the end of the
last glaciation. Here, we present the first palaeoglacier-derived reconstruction of YD …

Rapid, field‐based measurements of rock hardness are of use in investigating many
geomorphological and heritage science problems. Several different methods are now …

The Schmidt Hammer, originally designed for testing the hardness of concrete in 1948, was
first used in a geomorphological context in the 1960s. Since then the advantages and …

Abstract Over 160 10Be and 36Cl exposure ages pertaining to the extent and chronology of
the last British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) are critically reviewed. Despite uncertainties inherent in …

The Geology of Ireland is the definitive guide to the geology of the island of Ireland as a
whole. This completely revised edition has been updated to reflect the ten years of research …

In order to evaluate the potential of the Schmidt hammer for relative age dating of Late
Pleistocene moraines and rock glaciers, rebound (R) values were collected at 38 sites in two …

Radiocarbon ages on sub-till organic material suggest that Ireland was largely ice-free until~
32 ka, after which the last Irish Ice Sheet (IIS) thickened to cover all mountain summits …

Ice coverage not only affects the climate and landscape of geographical regions but has
impacted species composition, the fragmentation and isolation of populations, and the …
