Glacier-Influenced Sedimentation on High-Latitude Continental Margins

by J. A. Dowdeswell

This book examines the processes and patterns of glacier-sedimentation on high-latitude continental margins and the geophysical and geological signatures of the resulting sediments and landforms. It contains a range of papers concerning modern and ancient glacially-influenced sedimentation in high-latitude areas from both hemispheres, many of which discuss the relationship between glacier dynamics and the sediments and landform preserved in the glacimarine environment.
