We’re excited to co-host you in Manchester, alongside @PhysGeogMMU, for the #QRA24 conference!
See you on Thursday!

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

Happy New Year all! We hope you all had a restful winter break and looking forward to 2024!
We have some exciting things happening this year in our 60th anniversary year kicking off with the ADM in Manchester on Thursday😃

Stop 2: looking out across at a landslide, with thanks to Brandon from National Highways for explaining the stabilisation approaches here.
Paraglacial processes creating geohazards
#QRA24

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

Stop 1 was Lumb Mill in the Irwell Valley to view erratics and some unearthed organics from the BA. Then walking along a hypothesised kame terrace & viewing a WW1 zeppelin bomb site #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

Our final speaker Jane Hart looking at how to quantify subglacial processes in soft bedded glaciers with some fabulous field kit #QRA24

& thanks to Jane for all her ongoing work as President of @QuaternaryRA_UK

@Glacial_Lally with stunning imagery from UAVs for retreat of ice in SE Iceland at fantastic spatial resolution #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

@huynh_carla takes us to southernmost Patagonia to explore 2 palaeo-paradoxes #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

@arctic_glacial_ takes us to the Cairngorms, asking when & where the last ice left the landscape & how it might link to mesolithic archaeology #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

@NiallGandy continues with the simulation theme, to think about how we model ice streams & some concerns about scaling #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

(catch up) Megan Edwards took us back to the RISeR sampling region, to explore the sedimentological & geochemical records within these marine cores #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

(Catch up) @ImWaajen presented a fantastic record through the Brown Bank Formation, which records the MIS5-4 transition in the North Sea #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

@JeremyEly1 taking us into the world of model simulations, in the context of the Greenland Ice Sheet
#QRA24
@PalGlac

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

Then former @GeographyUOM member @amymcg gave a wonderful presentation on ‘throwing all’ the geochronological techniques at marine cores from RISeR, where there is a mystery of some missing sediment…

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

Skipping back to sedimentary record session. James Scourse gave a wonderful tour of the exciting proxies within the high resolution records provided by molluscan bivalve sclerochronology #QRA24

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

Please take the time, after enjoying your lunch, to peruse the posters. There is a fabulous line up in the atrium nearest to the lecture room #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

More from @PalGlac on Scandinavian Ice Sheet from @Bm_Boyes using wonderful LiDAR imagery #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

Helen Dulfer presenting work as part of @PalGlac on reconstructing the former ice margin(s) of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet #QRA24

[QEG Manchester @QEGMan]

@RiversGwyneth shares wonderful imagery & insights into the formation of De Geer Moraines and Crevasse-Squeeze Ridges
Have a look at 2023 paper too ⬇️
