This book provides a modern, comprehensive summary of glacial geology and geomorphology. This book will appeal to all students interested in the landforms and sediments that make up glacial landscapes.
The aim of the book is to outline glacial landforms and sediments and to provide the reader with the tools required to interpret glacial landscapes. It describes how glaciers work and how the processes of glacial erosion and deposition which operate within them are recorded in the glacial landscape.
