In situ cosmogenic exposure ages from the Isle of Skye, northwest Scotland:implications for the timing of deglaciation and readvance from 15 to 11 ka
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 ex...
