Palaeogeography: Europe cut adrift
Philip Gibbard1
Abstract
The floor of the English Channel provides evidence for two catastrophic floods arising from the drainage of huge glacial lakes in the area of the southern North Sea. These megafloods made Britain what it is today.
"Floods in Channel, Continent Cut Off." This slight variation on a legendary headline in The Times — the original supposedly began with "Fog" — might exemplify Britain's notoriously insular view of the world.
- Philip Gibbard is in the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, Downing Place, Cambridge CB2 3EN, UK.
