Late Quaternary solifluction sheets in the British uplands

Solifluction sheets are large-scale and extensive valley-floor valley-side landforms developed widely in the British Isles from mass-wasting of glacial periglacial sediments during late-glacial times. We describe their geographical distribution review processes that have led to development. use data Cheviot Hills, one site where sedimentology optically stimulated luminescence dating been combined, assess age nature deposition. also present central Wales a new mapping resistivity survey has reconstructed solifluction sheets. explore relative lack recent research on these argue represent clear example how upland geomorphological systems responded climate change. end by identifying number areas enigmatic features could be focussed, including better understanding distribution, age.
