The landform assemblage in the Cère Valley (Cantal, France) provides one of the most complete sequences for Late Pleistocene glacial fluctuations in the French Massif Central. However, the associated glacial chronology has been debated since the 1980s. This paper aims to improve the glacial chronology of the Cère Valley using 36 Cl surface exposure ages. Geomorphological results define two glacier stadials with reconstructed e...

A sediment core from the north‐east North Atlantic contains high‐resolution co‐registered foraminiferal δ 18 O and ice‐rafted detritus (IRD) records for the last deglaciation. These reveal a distinct ice‐rafting event that occurred at the time of Greenland Interstade 1d (GI‐1d), a feature also seen in other high‐resolution cores from the North Atlantic. The occurrence of a geographically widespread peak in IRD at ice distal si...

During the last glacial maximum, the Galloway Hills in southwest Scotland acted as a major centre of ice dispersion within the last British–Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS). Six new or recalibrated 10 Be exposure ages for samples obtained from boulders near the former ice divide yielded uncertainty‐weighted mean ages of 15.15 ± 0.72 ka (Lm scaling), or 15.33 ± 0.74 ka (Du scaling). These ages indicate that the former ice dome centred ov...

We present 10 in situ cosmogenic exposure ages from two moraines on the Isle of Skye. The Strollamus medial moraine was deposited during deglaciation of the Devensian ice sheet and yields a mean exposure age from five samples of 14.3 ± 0.9 ka. The moraine age indicates that a significant ice mass existed on Skye at the time of a regional readvance recorded in Wester Ross, northwest Scotland. Taken at face value the ages sugges...

The now acknowledged thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet raises concerns about its potential contribution to future sea level rise. In order to appreciate the full extent of its contribution to sea level rise, reconstruction of the ice sheet's most recent last deglaciation could provide key information on the timing and the height of the ice sheet at a time of rapid climate readjustment. We measured 10 Be concentrations in 12...
