[Prof. Warthog]

Mike Rogerson and the team at Northumbria University have published a review of the speleothem dates from across Britain and Ireland and their implications for ice sheet and permafrost extent and timing. Well worth a look.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of speleothem growth and glaciation in the British Isles

Abstract. Reconstructing the spatio-temporal dynamics of glaciations and permafrost largely relies on surface deposits and is therefore a challenge for every glacial period older than the last due to erosion. Consequently, glaciations and permafrost remain poorly constrained worldwide before ca...
