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, StratigraphicQuaternaryGeologyFieldworkDrift.Sedimentology.Geology, StratigraphicGeologyFieldwork.551.79Evans David J.
