Reihe: International Association Of Sedimentologists Series

Associating ice masses with the transport and deposition ofsediments has long formed a central theme in glaciology and glacialgeomorphology. The reason for this focus is clear, in that icemasses are responsible for much of the physical landscape whichcharacterizes the Earth's glaciated regions. This association alsoholds at a variety of scales, for example, from the grain-sizecharacteristics of small-scale moraines to the structuralarchitecture of large-scale, glacigenic sedimentary sequences inboth surface and subaqueous environments.
This volume brings numerous state-of-the-art researchcontributions together, each relating to a different physicalsetting, spatial scale, process or investigative technique. Theresult is a diverse and interesting collection of papers byglaciologists, numerical modellers and glacial geologists, whichare all linked by the theme of investigating the relationshipsbetween the behaviour of ice masses and their resulting sedimentarysequences.
