Abstract

Evidence for historic glacier recession includes direct observations, field mapping, aerial photography, satellite images, and other remotely sensed data such as radar, laser altimetry, and gravity. Evidence of glacier recession since the last glaciation includes glacial erratics, moraines, drumlins, flutes, eskers, outwash plains, and a wide variety of ice-disintegration features. These landforms are used to reconstruct the magnitude and rate of glacier recession. Modern analogs allow us to interpret late Pleistocene landforms and reconstruct the style and rate of glacier recession.
