Retreat dynamics of younger dryas glaciers in the far NW Scottish Highlands reconstructed from Moraine sequences

Knowledge about moraine sequences produced by former glaciers can reveal much about the interaction between glaciers and palaeoclimate. In the far NW Highlands of Scotland, detailed records of deglaciation during the Younger Dryas ( Loch Lomond Stadial) are preserved in sequences of `hummocky morain...
