Beschreibung:

Associating ice masses with the transport and deposition of sediments has long formed a central theme in glaciology and glacial geomorphology. The reason for this focus is clear, in that ice masses are responsible for much of the physical landscape which characterizes the Earth's glaciated regions. This association also holds at a variety of scales, for example, from the grain-size characteristics of small-scale moraines to the structural architecture of large-scale, glacigenic sedimentary sequences in both surface and subaqueous environments.
Preface. Foreword: Brian Harland and the Neoproterozoic 'Snowball Earth' Concept (D.J. Drewry). Introduction to Papers (Hambrey, M.J., Christoffersen, P., Glasser, N.F. and Hubbard, B.).
