Title: Ice-Marginal and Periglacial Processes and Sediments
Series: GSL Special Publications
Author/Editor: Edited by I P Martini, H M French and A Perez-Alberti
Publication Date: 07 June 2011
Description: Like many times in the past, Earth is now experiencing global warming and a period of glacier melting and permafrost thawing. Sedimentary deposits contain a record of what has happened, when and how. Understanding the sediments deposited either by glaciers or other cold-climate processes assumes vital significance to predict what will happen in the near and distant future. The objective of this volume is to critically examine the validity and limitations of the evidences that can be obtained from specific glacial and periglacial settings.
