Did the midnight β˜€οΈ bleach into the sub-surface of rocks in the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in the Tibetan Plateau (doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / IttuvΓ‘rit), Troms, Arctic Norway @rhewlif.xyz

When was that moraine created??

Luminescence ages from the sub-surface of cobbles, collected from moraines in the Konglongluo Valley, Tibetan Plateau, agree with external age control!

Do get in touch if interested in this new moraine-dating technique!!

Very late on the uptake, but great to see our British-Irish ice sheet extents illustrated in this BBC article alongside the ever-fantastic work by @jdkirkham.bsky.social

For the full article of ice-extents and timings, see here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Iceberg tracks found off UK coast could shed light on Antarctica Deep tracks gouged in the seafloor off the coast of Scotland could help us understand Antarctica today.

Fingerprints of city-sized icebergs found off UK coast - Excellent BBC News coverage of our new study!
