Discuss.: 23 August 2013 Revised: 31 October 2013 – Accepted: 15 November 2013 – Published: 3 December 2013 Abstract. Understanding the retreat behaviour of past marine-based ice sheets provides vital context for ac- curate assessments of the present stability and long-term response of contemporary polar ice sheets to climate and oceanic warming. Here new multibeam swath bathymetry data and sedimentological analysis are combined with high resolution ice-sheet modelling to reveal complex landform assemblages and process dynamics asso- ciated with deglaciation of the Celtic ice sheet within the Irish Sea Basin. Our reconstruction indicates a non- linear relationship between the rapidly receding Irish Sea Ice Stream and the retreat of outlet glaciers draining the adjacent, terrestrially based ice cap centred over Wales. Retreat of Welsh ice was episodic; superimposed over low-order oscillations of its margin are asynchronous outlet readvances driven by catchment-wide mass balance variations that are amplified through migration of the ice cap’s main ice divide.
