The engineering properties of glacial tills [PDF]
Geotechnical Research, 2018 Glacial tills are a product of the glacial processes of erosion, transportation and deposition and could have been subjected to several glacial cycles and periglacial processes to the extent that they are complex, hazardous soils that are spatially variable in composition, structure, fabric and properties, making them very difficult to sample, test and

The Causes and Implications of Microstructures in Glacial Sediments [PDF]
, 1998 This thesis examines how microstructures in glaciogenic sediments reflect the processes forming them, and how these microstructures then affect the conditions around them, through a series of field studies, laboratory tests, models, and statistical ...

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Pleistocene sediments in Lake Llauset (Southern Pyrenees, Spain)-a first approach [PDF]
, 2012 The high alpine valleys in the Southem Pyrenees are characterised by a many small lakes and ponds. They occur above 2000 m and are said to have been formed by glacial erosion.

A methodology for the investigation of land form-sediment relationships in British glaciated valleys. [PDF]
, 1989 PhDRecent progress in the understanding of the processes and products of glacial deposition in valleys, based mainly on work in actively glaciated environments, has led to the development of a general model of glacial valley landform-sediment ...

Reworked Middle Pleistocene deposits preserved in the core region of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
Quaternary Science Advances, 2020 During successive Pleistocene ice ages, Finnish Lapland lay under the cold-based centre of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS). This area largely escaped deep glacial erosion by the fast-flowing wet-based ice streams that developed toward the periphery of ...

Submarginal drumlin formation and late Holocene history of Fláajökull, southeast Iceland
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Fláajökull is a non-surging outlet glacier draining the south-eastern part of the Vatnajökull, southeast Iceland. Fláajökull was stationary or advanced slightly between 1966 and 1995 and formed a prominent end moraine.

Geomorphology and shallow sub-sea-floor structures underneath the Ekström Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The Ekström Ice Shelf is one of numerous small ice shelves that fringe the coastline of western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. Reconstructions of past ice-sheet extent in this area are poorly constrained, due to a lack of geomorphological evidence.
