Glacial geomorphology in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland
We present a detailed 1:50,000-scale glacial geomorphological map covering ∼450 km2 of the Wicklow Mountains, eastern Ireland. The region was glaciated at the Last Glacial Maximum, but little is known about the timing and pattern of deglaciation during the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition or the extent of glacier regrowth during the Younger Dryas. The absence of detailed glacial geomorphological mapping has been a barrier to understanding the…
Glacial geomorphology of the Gaick, Central Grampians, Scotland
The Gaick is an enigmatic glaciated landscape in the Central Grampians, Scotland, dominated by an expansive dissected plateau. Previous studies have postulated widely differing interpretations of the glacial landforms and current understanding of the glacial events in this area is partly restricted by the absence of detailed glacial geomorphological mapping. To address this issue, we present a comprehensive 1: 46,000-scale glacial geomorphologica…
Evolution of the Norwegian plateau icefield Hardangerjøkulen since the ‘Little Ice Age’
The maximum ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) glacier extent provides a significant baseline to assess long-term glacier change and to place currently observed rates of glacier recession in a broader temporal context. To that end, we examine the evolution of the plateau icefield Hardangerjøkulen since the LIA. First, we reconstruct Hardangerjøkulen’s maximum LIA extent (~AD 1750) and subsequent recession based on the glacial landform record and aided by his…
Manual mapping of drumlins in synthetic landscapes to assess operator effectiveness
Mapped topographic features are important for understanding processes that sculpt the Earth's surface. This paper presents maps that are the primary product of an exercise that brought together 27 researchers with an interest in landform mapping wherein the efficacy and causes of variation in mapping were tested using novel synthetic DEMs containing drumlins. The variation between interpreters (e.g. mapping philosophy, experience) and across the …
A glacial geomorphological map of the Monadhliath Mountains, Central Scottish Highlands
The Monadhliath Mountains in the Central Scottish Highlands are dominated by an extensive plateau area that has received little Quaternary research attention during the last century. Previous studies have focussed on the geomorphology and sedimentology of isolated valleys and therefore the 1:57, 500 map presented here provides the first systematic assessment of the glacial geomorphology of the region as a whole, covering an area of approximately …
