The last ice sheet to completely cover Scotland (the Devensian ice sheet) began to melt and its margins retreat about 20,000 years ago as summer sunlight in the northern hemisphere increased. Over the following 10,000 years, the average global temperature rose by 3.50C and most of the Devensian ice sheet melted in the “Great Thaw”. In Scotland, however, a seemingly contradictory readvance of the ice took place. Around 12,900 years ago, the temperatures in Scotland plummeted and remained low for about 1300 years. This glacial period, known as the Younger Dryas, is thought to have been caused by huge quantities of meltwater escaping into the North Atlantic and closing down the North Atlantic Ocean Conveyor. The evidence for this readvance was first analysed and appreciated in the broad hummocky lowlands to the south of Loch Lomond and this became the type area for the readvance .

A more complete suite of slides is available on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/geojuice/sets/72157628719699499/ Getting really fed up with the uneven playing field so thinking of making them all into videos and using Vimeo as a more stable and realistic platform. Let me know what you think on Flickr. Now if the Guardian got rid of their stupid headers and footers.... Anyway enjoy this one if you are a geographer, geologist or just interested in our planet.

Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks. Twucwuc land is a new acronym for scamland. WULs have been around for a while. Fast-buck Britain and Buckfast Britain are the same place. An invoice reminder should be an invoice reminder and should never be post-dated. Take care on your journey.

Editor's Notes

Panoramas are eye catching! They have a billboard effect! Monet knew this. Water lilies? Chuck Close is an exponent as well.
