Abstract

This book provides a broad account of glacial geology which is particularly suited to students at undergraduate level. Following an introductory chapter the book is organised as follows: chapter two introduces the history of ice on Earth underlining the causes of ice ages; chapters three and four detail the mechanisms of the glacial system; chapters five and six continue with the processes of glacial erosion and consider the landforms they create; chapters seven to eleven tackle the processes of glacial sedimentation and landform development; and finally chapter 12 interprets how large scale patterns of glacial erosion are reflected in the landscape.
