Hide-GEOG30780 Quaternary Environmental Change in Ireland
Academic Year 2022/2023
This module examines the evidence for the glaciation of Ireland in the Quaternary Period and assesses the applicability to Ireland of global models of glaciation based on oxygen isotope variability in both ocean sediment cores and ice cores, the planet's longest, most complete and most reliable environmental surrogates. The module begins with an investigation of key glaciological processes and their reflection in both glacigenic geomorphology and sedimentology, before moving on to a survey of Ireland's Quaternary evolution through its geomorphology.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion students should be able to: (1) demonstrate an appreciation of the development of our understanding of Ireland's Quaternary environmental evolution; (2) demonstrate an understanding of key concepts in Quaternary geoscience and glacial geomorphology; (3) explain the linkages between geomorphology, glaciation and broader environmental stimuli, especially in the formation and evolution of environmentally sensitive landscapes and landforms.
