The role of topography in landform development at an active temperate glacier in Arctic Norway (2023)
Journal Article
Boston, C. M., Chandler, B. M., Lovell, H., Weber, P., & Davies, B. J. (2023). The role of topography in landform development at an active temperate glacier in Arctic Norway. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 48(9), 1783-1803. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5588

Topography exerts a strong control on how glaciers respond to changes in climate. Increased understanding of this role is important for both refining model predictions of future rates of glacier recession and for reconstructing climatic change from t...

Active temperate glacial landsystem evolution in association with outwash head/depositional overdeepenings (2023)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Ewertowski, M. W., Tomczyk, A., & Chandler, B. M. (2023). Active temperate glacial landsystem evolution in association with outwash head/depositional overdeepenings. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 48(8), 1573-1598. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5569

The response of temperate glaciers to rapid climate warming is reflected in the geomorphology (landsystem) resulting from snout recession. This paper develops a locally diverse process-form model of active temperate glaciers through mapping and quant...

Storm chasing: Tracking Holocene storminess in southern Sweden using mineral proxies from inland and coastal peat bogs (2022)
Journal Article
Kylander, M. E., Martínez-Cortizas, A., Sjöström, J. K., Gåling, J., Gyllencreutz, R., Bindler, R., Alexanderson, H., Schenk, F., Reinardy, B. T., Chandler, B. M., & Gallagher, K. (2023). Storm chasing: Tracking Holocene storminess in southern Sweden using mineral proxies from inland and coastal peat bogs. Quaternary Science Reviews, 299, Article 107854. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107854

Severe extratropical winter storms are a recurrent feature of the European climate and cause widespread socioeconomic losses. Due to insufficient long-term data, it remains unclear whether storminess has shown a notable response to changes in externa...

An Assessment of Geophysical Survey Techniques for Characterising the Subsurface Around Glacier Margins, and Recommendations for Future Applications (2022)
Journal Article
Watts, H., Booth, A. D., Reinardy, B. T. I., Killingbeck, S. F., Jansson, P., Clark, R. A., Chandler, B. M. P., & Nesje, A. (2022). An Assessment of Geophysical Survey Techniques for Characterising the Subsurface Around Glacier Margins, and Recommendations for Future Applications. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, Article 734682. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.734682

Geophysical surveys provide an efficient and non-invasive means of studying subsurface conditions in numerous sedimentary settings. In this study, we explore the application of three geophysical methods to a proglacial environment, namely ground pene...

Re-interpretation of ‘hummocky moraine’ in the Gaick, Scotland, as erosional remnants: Implications for palaeoglacier dynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Chandler, B. M., Boston, C. M., Lukas, S., & Lovell, H. (2021). Re-interpretation of ‘hummocky moraine’ in the Gaick, Scotland, as erosional remnants: Implications for palaeoglacier dynamics. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 132(4), 506-524. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pgeola.2021.06.002

Many glaciated valleys in Scotland contain distinctive, closely spaced ridges and mounds, which have been termed ‘hummocky moraine’. The ridges and mounds are widely interpreted as ice-marginal moraines, constructed during active retreat of mainly te...

Glacial Processes and Sediments (2020)
Book Chapter
Chandler, B. M., & Evans, D. J. (2020). Glacial Processes and Sediments. In Encyclopedia of Geology: Volume 2 (830-856). (Second Edition). https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-409548-9.11902-5

Glaciers progressively modify the landscape through a complex spatial and temporal mosaic of processes, and they produce majestic landscapes that contain a remarkable range of sediments and landforms. As glaciers covered as much as 30% of the Earth's... Read More about Glacial Processes and Sediments.
