Abstract

The results of geomorphological mapping and survey of Lateglacial and Holocene displaced shorelines in the Clyde estuary and around Loch Lomond, western central Scotland are described. On the basis of morphology, sedimentology, altitude and radiocarbon dating, four discrete shorelines are identified and are correlated with previously identified Scottish displaced shorelines. The shoreline formerly referred to as the Main Postglacial Shoreline is renamed the Menteith Shoreline. This body of data, combined with data on displaced shorelines for Scotland as a whole has been analysed using Gaussian quadratic trend surface analysis in order to determine the centre of glacio-isostatic displacement for each shoreline. These Gaussian models of palaeo-relative sea-level suggest that the zone of greatest displacement lay NNW of Loch Lomond in the Lateglacial then moved SSE to the region of Loch Lomond during the Holocene and the Clyde in the Late Holocene. The factors responsible for the movement of the zone of greatest uplift are discussed, including temporal variations in the ice-sheet thickness, variations in water load in the adjacent sea-lochs and neotectonic processes. Comparison is made with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models. A sensitivity analysis has been carried out on the use of Gaussian trend surface analysis glacio-isostatic modelling and this is included in the research evaluation, and reported in full in the Supporting Information files, along with the raw data used throughout this study.

苏格兰大陆的冰川-等静力调整模式:来自苏格兰中西部最大反弹区附近的新数据
本文介绍了对苏格兰中西部克莱德河口和洛蒙德湖周围的冰期和全新世移位海岸线进行地貌测绘和调查的结果。根据形态学、沉积学、海拔高度和放射性碳年代测定,确定了四条离散的海岸线,并与之前确定的苏格兰移位海岸线进行了关联。以前被称为主要冰川后海岸线的海岸线被重新命名为门提斯海岸线。为了确定每条海岸线的冰川等静力位移中心,我们使用高斯二次趋势面分析法对这些数据以及整个苏格兰的位移海岸线数据进行了分析。这些古海平面高斯模型表明,在拉特冰期,位移最大的区域位于洛蒙德湖的西北方向,然后在全新世期间向东南方向移动到洛蒙德湖地区,在全新世晚期移动到克莱德河地区。本文讨论了造成最大隆起区移动的因素,包括冰盖厚度的时间变化、邻近海湖水量的变化以及新构造过程。与冰川等静力调整(GIA)模型进行了比较。对使用高斯趋势面分析冰川等静力模型进行了敏感性分析,分析结果已列入研究评估,并在佐证资料文件中与本研究中使用的原始数据一起全文报告。

期刊介绍: Boreas has been published since 1972. Articles of wide international interest from all branches of Quaternary research are published. Biological as well as non-biological aspects of the Quaternary environment, in both glaciated and non-glaciated areas, are dealt with: Climate, shore displacement, glacial features, landforms, sediments, organisms and their habitat, and stratigraphical and chronological relationships. Anticipated international interest, at least within a continent or a considerable part of it, is a main criterion for the acceptance of papers. Besides articles, short items like discussion contributions and book reviews are published.
