Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

The last decade has seen a global surge in the number and resolution of well-dated
geomorphological reconstructions of mountain glacier fluctuations and former ice sheet …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Increased knowledge of modern glacial depositional environments has resulted in rapidly
evolving classifications of glacial tills. These are based to a large degree on theoretical …

In the Himalayas almost all large valley glaciers with lengths ofseveral kilometres are
covered with debris in their ablation zone. These types of glaciers occupy more than 80% of …

Three variables control the type of glacial debris source and where and when debris is
introduced to an ocean:(1) type of glacial ice source (ice sheet or valley glacier);(2) condition …

This book is a comprehensive overview of the ever-captivating field of glaciation from the
perspective of glacial landsystems. This approach models the many processes, forms and …

Subaerial sediment flow is the predominant process depositing diamictons at the terminus of
Matanuska Glacier. Flows originate where sediments overlie glacier ice. Ablation of ice …

A data chart is presented for detailed field description of sediment successions containing
glacial diamicts and associated sediments. The design is based on field experience from …

Controlled moraines are supraglacial debris concentrations that become hummocky
moraine upon de-icing and possess clear linearity due to the inheritance of the former …
