Applications of Remote Sensing in Geomorphology
Smith, M.J. and Pain, C.F. (2009) Progress in Physical Geography, 33, 4, 568-582. Remotely sensed imagery has been used extensively in geomorphology since the availability of early Landsat data, with its value measurable by the extent to which it can meet the investigative requirements of geomorphologists....

Editorial: Quaternary of the British Isles and Adjoining Seas
Smith, M.J., Rose, J. and Lukas, S. Journal of Maps, v2008, 290-298 This volume of the Journal of Maps is one of four volumes published from an Annual Discussion Meeting (ADM) of the Quaternary Research Association (QRA), in January 2008, to examine the Quaternary of the British Isles and the adjoining seas. This volume deals with evidence for Quaternary environmental change in map-form, and the other volumes, which will be published in the journals Quaternary Science Reviews, Journal of Quaternary Science and Proceedings of the Geologists' Association will be concerned, respectively, with Quaternary climates and climate change, Quaternary landscapes, and Quaternary Geology.

Glacial striae observations for Ireland compiled from historic records
Smith, M.J., Knight, J. and Field, K.S.(2008) Journal of Maps, v2008, 378-398. Glacial landform mapping is one of the primary inputs for the reconstruction of past glacial environments and processes, potentially inferring maximum ice sheet extent and dynamics....

Glacial geomorphological maps of the Glasgow region, western central Scotland
Rose, J. and Smith, M.J. (2008) Journal of Maps, v2008, 399-416. This paper presents a 1:25,000 scale geomorphological map of the Glasgow region, western central Scotland, an area that was glaciated during the Last Glacial Maximum and, in part, during the Younger Dryas glaciation....

The Cookie Cutter: a method for obtaining a quantitative 3D description of glacial bedforms
Smith, M.J., Rose, J. and Gousie, M.B. Geomorphology, 108, 209-218. Recording the position and attributes of subglacial bedforms, particularly drumlins, is paramount in determining the extent, and dynamics, of former ice sheets....

Editorial: summary of activities 2004-2007
Smith, M.J.Journal of Maps, v2007, 368-376 It has been an exciting period of growth at the Journal of Maps (JoM) over the last three years and, as we come to the end of 2007, it seems particularly appropriate to provide a summary of our activities, an outline of our future plans and acknowledge the support from those involved with the journal.

Characteristics and prediction of high frequency avalanche runout.
M.J. Smith and D.M. McClung Arctic and Alpine Research, 29(3), 352-357 In this paper, we present field data and analysis relating avalanche terrain variables and avalanche runout for 46 high frequency avalanche paths. Most previous studies of this nature (Lied and Bakkehoi, 1980; McClung and Mears, 1991) have been concerned with the location of extreme runout for return periods of order 100 years. In our study, we focus on extreme runout avalanche paths where return periods are much less than 100 years and we compare the results with previous data collections.
