DOI: 10.1002/jqs.2826
Abstract: The timing and extent of late Middle Pleistocene glaciations in England and the southern North Sea are controversial topics. The recent Trent Valley Palaeolithic Project uncovered evidence for a post-Anglian, pre-Devensian glaciation that affected much… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.12.001
Abstract: Abstract Constructing an accurate timeline is critical for reconstructing the Earth systems through critical transitions in climate, geochemistry, and life. Existing dates constrain synchronous initiation (ca. 717 Ma) and termination (ca. 660 Ma) of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116300
Abstract: Abstract The pattern of cosmogenic nuclide inheritance within bedrock surfaces in previously glaciated regions can be used to assess the efficiency of glacial erosion and constrain topographic evolution. Here, we present fifty new in-situ cosmogenic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116661
Abstract: Abstract It has been long recognized that glacial episodes can affect the δ 18 O value of ocean water, where preferential storage of 16O in ice changes the 18O/16O ratio of the ocean. However, these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.107176
Abstract: Abstract Sediment core ARC5-ICE6 from the Makarov Basin was used to reconstruct circum-Arctic glaciation and surface-ocean circulation history for the Middle to Late Pleistocene, ∼0.5–0.7 Ma. Sedimentary proxies include elemental composition, coarse grain content, clay mineralogy,… read more here.
