Abstract
Modern Glacial Environments: Processes, Dynamics and Sediments focuses on the processes involved in forming the glacial landscape. Approximately 30% of the Earth's land surface was covered by ice during the Pleistocene. The landscape formed by the great ice sheets still intrigues the scientific world. Today present‐day ice sheets are used to investigate the processes that created the glacial landscape and the landscape, in turn, is used to deduce the behavior of former ice sheets. This view is a simplification but essentially true; glaciologists and glacial geologists are studying the same process‐morphological system to achieve different goals. Modern Glacial Environments: Processes, Dynamics and Sediments, edited by John Menzies, aims to bridge the gap created by this division, a feat never before attempted in a single volume.
