Models of landscape evolution during the Late Devensian glaciation
Models of landscape evolution during the Late Devensian glaciation : a) demonstrates the relationship between Glacial Lakes Pickering and Humber, associated with the positions of the Vale of York ...
Historically, much research has been undertaken to understand landscape evolution and environmental change during the last glacial-interglacial cycle in Britain.

Late Devensian to Holocene environmental change, Loch Lomond, UK: A seismic sedimentary record of deglaciation, paraglacial and postglacial landscape evolution
Chapter 5 The Devensian glacial record Introduction D. Huddart and N.F. Glasser The later stages of the Quaternary Period, the Devensian cold stage and the Holocene temperate stage, are much more important in shaping the landscape of northern England than the preceding stages. During the Late Devensian , ice sheets developed in the highlands of Scotland and these advanced south along the east ...
Evolution of a periglacial landscape in the Late Devensian ...
Within the depression is a Devensian late -glacial sequence, with the Windermere Interstadial represented by radiocarbon-dated organic sediments. Pollen and plant macroscopic remains of the late -glacial sediments are analysed. Plant communities with Betula developed in the interstadial.
Using luminescence and cosmogenic isotope dating, we have produced the first detailed chronological framework for Late Devensian glacial events in south-west Wales and the southern Cambrian Mountains.
Devensian Late
The study published by Conolly et al. (1950) was actually undertaken during the late 1930s and early 1940s prior to the identification of the Allerød event (Windermere Interstadial) at Windermere (Pennington, 1947) and at Flitwick (Mitchell, 1948): their study allowed correlation with better-established Devensian (Weichselian) late -glacial ...

Late Devensian to Holocene environmental change, Loch Lomond, UK
The SF-I horizon represents the glaciated surface, interpreted as subglacial till (locally forming drumlins), glacial moraines or bedrock. Ice retreat was accompanied by glaciolacustrine sedimentation in a proglacial lake setting, depositing up to 44 m of laminated sediments and ice marginal fans (SF-IIa, b).
It includes many textbook examples of glacial features, good evidence of Late Devensian and Holocene sea-level change, and the legacy of the punctuated retreat and oscillation of a major outlet glacier that terminated in the Inner Moray Firth, then a glaciomarine fjord (Merritt et al. 1995).
