Ninety-eight surfaces related to the retreat of the British Ice Sheet (BIS) and dated using
Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclide Dating (TCND) were sampled using the Schmidt Hammer to
expand on relative dating techniques and establish Schmidt Hammer exposure dating
(SHED) as an effective method for dating glacial landforms in the UK. The BIS is an effective
analogue for contemporary glacial systems but our understanding of its retreat under
changing climate conditions is constrained by a limited number of dates obtained from …
