Abstract
Palaeosols in glacial environments, particularly those representing global interglacial periods, are important stratigraphic markers and can potentially provide valuable insight on palaeoenvironments and postglacial landscape evolution. Surface soils formed in glacial sediment provide evidence on their relative age, and can therefore be of great value in glacial mapping and correlation and in targeting numerical dating efforts. Studies of soil chronosequences are especially important in these interpretations of soils and palaeosols, but it is also essential to take into account the complex response of soil-forming processes to varying landscape position, parent materials, climate, and vegetation.
