My PhD explores possible evidence of ice shelves in the Minch, NW Scotland by examining seabed sediment cores using a multi-proxy approach. By combining sedimentological, micropalaeontological and (bio)geochemical evidence, the PhD will examine the possible presence of ice shelves and decipher the environmental conditions which triggered the demise of the ice shelf and evaluate the subsequent effects of ice shelf removal on the glacier inland.
