They have the potential to build up an archive of events and provide a window into the past. Through careful examination of sediments the shifting patterns of surface processes across space and time are revealed, allowing us to reconstruct past evironments and environmental change. A Practical Guide to the Study of Glacial Sediments is a guide to the standard techniques employed to read the sedimentary record of former glaciers and ice sheets. It demonstrates that the often complex and fragmentary glaciDriftSedimentologyGeology, StratigraphicQuaternaryGeologyFieldworkElectronic books.Drift.Sedimentology.Geology, StratigraphicGeologyFieldwork.551.79Evans David J.
