Micromorphology of diamicton affected by iceberg-keel scouring, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland [PDF]
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016 Icebergs are important as agents of deposition and seafloor reworking on glacier-influenced continental margins. When the keel of an iceberg exceeds water depth it ploughs through soft sediments producing scours/ploughmarks that can be kilometres long, hundreds of metres wide and sometimes tens of metres deep.

The Geo-educational and Conservational Challenges Posed by Unconsolidated Deposits: Some Thoughts and Possible Solutions as Applied to Diamicton Deposits from the British Isles [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2022 Unconsolidated diamicton deposits of Quaternary age cover much of the lowland areas of the British Isles. These are often poorly exposed and as a result their influence on development and importance as palaeontological archives are often under ...

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021 The existence of Quaternary glaciers in the medium-low mountainous areas in the east of China has been disputed for a century. As an important evidence for glacial accumulation in the east, "mud-gravel" (moraine) has long been referred to as debris flow ...

The development of a late Weichselian - early Holocene subaqueous ice-contact fan, Teikangas, SW Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1996 The depositional environment of the Teikangas formation in southwestern Finland has been studied. The formation is an isolated, ice marginal accumulation of coarse-grained sediments north of the Hämeenkangas ridge, related to the Weichselian ice sheet ...

Extent and dynamics of the Saalian ice-sheet margin in Neple, eastern Poland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2018 The Neple site is located on a marginal moraine between the valleys of Bug and Krzna rivers in the southern part of the Polish–Belarusian border area. A glacial diamicton is overlain there by glaciofluvial sand and gravel.

Little Ice Age glacial geomorphology and sedimentology of Portage Glacier, South-Central Alaska [PDF]
Finisterra - Revista Portuguesa de Geografia, 2009 The study of glacial landforms and deposits is important, as it isdifficult to observe processes under modern glaciers and ice-sheets. Thus landscapes and sediments that are the product of present glaciation can give insight into processes that occurred ...

Sedimentary environments in the south-western Barents Sea during the last deglaciation and the Holocene: a case study outside the Ingøydjupet trough [PDF]
Polar Research, 2016 A lithological and foraminiferal study of newly acquired sediment cores outside the Ingøydjupet (Ingøy Deep) trough has been carried out to improve constraints on the last deglacial history in the south-western Barents Sea.
