โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

The surficial deposits and landforms of the middle Dyfi Valley, Wales, are examined and a sequence of glacial, glacioโ€fluvial and glacioโ€lacustrine sediments is identified. This is considered to relate to a late stage in the wastage of the Lateโ€Devensian Merioneth iceโ€cap. A sequence of terrace gravels overlying the giacigenic succession represents dissection during early Flandrian times.

A dated landscape history of the Allt nan Uamh valley in the Assynt area is constructed, spanning the last 300 ka, using geomorphological analysis, U-series speleothem dating, and existing cave surveys. The mean rate of valley deepening is estimated to lie between 47 and 68 m per glacial/interglacia
