Uniquely, glacial bedform and sediment patterns onshore record major shifts in ice activity, ice-margin locations, basal thermal and hydraulic regimes, and the location of ice centres during T1. Ireland also provides the first dated terrestrial evidence for participation of NW European ice sheets in the major H1 climate event. Field geological evidence for this, and other events during T1 in Ireland, will be examined during the post-conference field meeting . Oral and poster contributions are invited for presentation at the conference, and for consideration for the associated publication volume. Contributions are invited from Quaternary scientists, including geologists, palaeoclimatologists, palaeoceanographers, glaciologists, modellers, and those working on modern glacial environments.
Graduate students are particularly welcome.
Poster sessions will also be available, especially for graduate students. Open debates will also take place to promote discussion of key issues. Ice-flows and H1 ice limits in the north Irish Sea basin. Deglacial records in the north Irish Sea basin. Pattern of ice flow during H1 and the stratigraphic position of dated mud beds in the area.
