A 2500-year record of relative sea-level change at Gress, Isle of Lewis, northwest Scotland using salt marsh sediments
Relative sea-level (RSL) changes in mid-latitude regions commonly reflect complex interactions between global ice-sheet melt, ocean dynamics and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), yet high-resolution Late-Holocene records from critical transitional zones near former ice-sheet margins remain sparse. Northwest Scotland, situated near the periphery of the former British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS), offers insights into spatially variable RSL trends driv…
“Power to the people—all the people”
Few empirical studies have examined ways in which anti-Black and heteronormative scripts are reproduced within Black queer communities or how Black queer group members explicitly perceive their own levels of privilege relative to other Black queer group members marginalized on different axes (e.g., cisgender group members compared to Transgender group members). This critical qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore how 9 B…
In Memoriam
Alastair Dawson was a physical geographer and interdisciplinary Earth scientist who made outstanding contributions to understanding the development of the Scottish landscape and to Quaternary environmental change. His thoughtful and innovative research has had a lasting influence, particularly on glacial and periglacial geomorphology, interactions between ice-sheets, palaeoclimate and sea-level change, and the recognition and interpretation of Ho…
Sedimentary structures reflecting the flow and depositional regime of the 8.15 ka yr BP Storegga submarine landslide tsunami at the Montrose Basin, North-East Scotland
An anomalous sand unit preserved within an outcrop section at the south-west margin of the Montrose Basin (north-east Scotland) is investigated using a multi-proxy approach comprising lithostratigraphic analysis, particle size analysis, loss on ignition, geochemistry, and experimental modelling. This enables detailed reconstruction of the flow and depositional regime of the 8.15 ka yr BP Storegga Submarine Landslide Tsunami. The sand deposit (mic…

The environmental context of the Neolithic monuments on the Brodgar Isthmus, Mainland, Orkney
The World Heritage Sites of Orkney, Scotland contain iconic examples of Neolithic monumentality that have provided significant information about this period of British prehistory. However, currently, a complete understanding of the sites remains to be achieved. This is, in part, because the monuments lack an adequate context within the broader palaeolandscape. Recent investigations (seismic geophysical survey, microfossil analysis and 14C dating)…
Onshore tsunami sediment transport mechanisms inferred from heavy mineral assemblages
The aim of this study is to discuss and to extend the characterization of (palaeo)tsunami deposits, and their source materials, based upon the detailed study of their heavy mineral assemblages. Results obtained from three distinct locations (Portugal, Scotland and Indonesia), different coastal contexts and chronologies (the tsunami events studied took place at 1500 cal. yr BP, AD 1755 and 2004) are summarized and discussed in order to contribute …
A Multi-disciplinary Approach to the Archaeological Investigation of a Bedrock-Dominated Shallow-Marine Landscape
Investigation of shallow-marine environments for submerged prehistoric archaeology can be hampered in many localities by extensive bedrock exposure and thus limited preservation potential. Using the concept of ‘seamless archaeology’ where land-based archaeology is integrated across the intertidal zone through to the offshore, a multi-disciplinary approach is essential. This approach taken in the Bay of Firth, Orkney uses geophysics, historical ar…

Complex North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index signal of historic North Atlantic storm-track changes
Previous reports have suggested a link between increased storminess in the North Atlantic during recent years with a period of time during which the North Atlantic Oscillation Index has been strongly positive. New analyses of late nineteenth-century gale-day data for meteorological stations in northern Scotland and western Ireland indicate that the relatively high storminess that characterized this period was associated with monthly NAO Index val…
Rapid Holocene relative sea-level changes in Gruinart, Isle of Islay, Scottish Inner Hebrides
Litho- and biostratigraphic analyses undertaken in the Gruinart estuary, central Islay, reveal a detailed sedimentary record of Holocene relative sea-level changes and high-energy flood events during the last 10 000 years. During the Lateglacial-Holocene transition relative sea level had fallen to below c. 0.5 m OD and remained at this depth until c. 8830 14 C years BP. Thus, the early-Holocene minimum sea level is here, relatively well constrain…
Holocene relative sea-level changes on the margin of a glacio-isostatically uplifted area
Evidence is presented for Holocene relative sea-level changes on the margin of a glacio-isostatically uplifted area: the lower Wick River valley, northern Caithness, Scotland. Lithostratigraphic, biostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic analyses of intercalated clastic and organic sediments disclose evidence for a rapid rise of relative sea level from at least as low as -3.6 m to +1.5 m O.D. during the mid-Holocene, culminating between c. 6900 an…
