  • Glacial geomorphology of the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet on the northern Interior Plains and western Canadian Shield, Canada

    Open AccessHelen E Dulfer, Benjamin J Stoker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2023

    The majority of the Northwest Territories of mainland Canada was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum. The increasing coverage of high resolution remotely sensed data provides new opportunities to map the glacial geomorphology and study the glacial history of this remote location. Here we present a comprehensive map of glacial landforms within the northern Interior Plains and adjacent areas of the Canadian Shield, c…

  • Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway

    Open AccessJ R Leigh, David J A Evans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2021

    Here we present a glacial and periglacial geomorphological map of a ∼6800 km2 region of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway. The map is presented at a 1:115,000 scale with the aim of characterising the spatial distribution of glacial and periglacial landforms and facilitating the reconstruction of the glacial history of the region during the latter stages of deglaciation from the Last Glacial Maximum and into the Holocene. Mapping wa…

  • The surficial and subglacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

    Open AccessMarc Chang, Stewart S R Jamieson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    The surficial and subglacial geomorphology of ∼220,000 km2 of western Dronning Maud Land (WDML), Antarctica, is presented at a scale of 1:750,000. The mapped area includes the Stancomb-Wills Glacier north of 75°25′S and follows the grounded ice margin to the Jutulstraumen Ice Stream at the Prime Meridian. Mapping of subglacial geomorphology builds upon recent methodological advances that use optical and passive satellite imagery of the ice surfac…

  • The glacial geomorphology of the Loch Lomond Stadial in Britain

    Open AccessH L Bickerdike, David J A Evans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    The Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS) was an abrupt period of renewed cooling between 12.9 and 11.7 ka and has long been associated with the regrowth of glaciers in much of upland Britain. Mapping the glacial landforms associated with this period has been undertaken for over a century, but in a non-systematic nature and at specific locations. In this paper, glacial geomorphology associated with the LLS in Britain has been compiled from the published lite…

  • Ice streams in the Laurentide Ice Sheet

    Open AccessMartin Margold, Chris R Stokes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2015

    Rapidly flowing ice streams dominate the drainage of continental ice sheets and are a key component of their mass balance. Due to their potential impact on sea level, their activity in the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets has undergone detailed scrutiny in recent decades. However, these observations only cover a fraction of their 'life-span' and the subglacial processes that facilitate their rapid flow are very difficult to observe. To circumve…

  • Manual mapping of drumlins in synthetic landscapes to assess operator effectiveness

    Open AccessJohn K Hillier, M J Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2015

    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 southernmost ice lobes of Patagonia

    Open AccessChristopher M Darvill, Chris R Stokes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2014

    This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of the landforms created by five large ice lobes that extended eastwards from the southernmost reaches of the Patagonian Ice Sheet during the Quaternary period. The study is focussed on Tierra del Fuego, but also updates previous mapping of the Skyring and Otway lobes, and the resulting level of detail and extent is a significant advance on previous work in the region. The map has been created as…

  • Glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen Region of Scotland

    Open AccessA J Turner, John Woodward et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2014

    This paper presents a detailed glacial Main Map of the Great Glen region of Scotland, UK, covering an area of over 6800 km2 extending from 56°34′7′′ to 57°41′1′′ N and from 3°44′2′′ to 5°33′24′′ W. This represents the first extensive mapping of the glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen and builds upon previous studies that conducted localised field mapping or ice-sheet wide mapping using remote sensing. Particular emphasis is placed on deriving…

  • Glacial geomorphology of Marguerite Bay Palaeo-Ice stream, western Antarctic Peninsula

    Open AccessStephen J Livingstone, Colm Ó Cofaigh et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2013

    This paper presents a glacial geomorphological map of over 17,000 landforms on the bed of a major palaeo-ice stream in Marguerite Bay, western Antarctic Peninsula. The map was compiled using various geophysical datasets from multiple marine research cruises. Eight glacial landform types are identified: mega-scale glacial lineations, crag-and-tails, whalebacks, gouged, grooved and streamlined bedrock, grounding-zone wedges, subglacial meltwater ch…

  • A map of large Canadian eskers from Landsat satellite imagery

    Open AccessRobert D Storrar, Chris R Stokes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2013

    Meltwater drainage systems beneath ice sheets are a poorly understood, yet fundamentally important environment for understanding glacier dynamics, which are strongly influenced by the nature and quantity of meltwater entering the subglacial system. Contemporary sub-ice sheet meltwater drainage systems are notoriously difficult to study, but we can utilise exposed beds of palaeo-ice sheets to further our understanding of subglacial drainage. In pa…

  • A glacial geomorphological map of the Seno Skyring-Seno Otway-Strait of Magellan region, southernmost Patagonia

    Open AccessHarold Lovell, Chris R Stokes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2011

    This paper presents a detailed glacial geomorphological map covering over 16,000 km of the Seno Skyring-Seno Otway-Strait of Magellan region in southernmost Patagonia. It builds on previously published maps produced at a variety of scales and is re-mapped in detail for the purposes of reconstructing the pre-Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glacial dynamics of the region, with particular focus on deciphering the glacial landsystem north east of Seno Otw…

  • The Glacial Geomorphology of the North-West sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet

    Open AccessVictoria H Brown, Chris R Stokes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2011

    Please click here to download the map associated with this article. This paper presents a new map of the glacial geomorphology of ~ 800,000 km of north-west Canada. The mapped area includes parts of Northwest Territories and Nunavut which were covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. It has been hypothesized that ice streaming occurred here during this time and the area has also been identified as a potential dr…

  • A Glacial Geomorphological Map of Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic

    Open AccessRobert D Storrar, Robert Storrar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2007

    Victoria Island lies at the north-western extremity of the region covered by the vast North American Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This area is significant because it linked the interior of the LIS to the Arctic Ocean, probably via a number of ice streams. Victoria Island, however, exhibits a remarkably complex glacial landscape, with several successive generations of ice flow indicators superimposed on top of eac…

  • Geomorphological Map of Ribbed Moraines on the Dubawnt Lake Palaeo-Ice Stream Bed

    Open AccessChris R Stokes, Chris Clark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2006

    Please click here to download the map associated with this article. The beds of active ice streams in Greenland and Antarctica are largely inaccessible, hindering a full understanding of the processes that initiate, sustain and inhibit fast ice flow in ice sheets. Detailed mapping of the glacial geomorphology of palaeo-ice stream tracks is, therefore, a valuable tool for exploring the basal processes that control their behaviour. In this paper we…
