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 glaci 606 $aDrift 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aGeology, Stratigraphic$yQuaternary 606 $aGeology$xFieldwork 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDrift. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aGeology, Stratigraphic 615 0$aGeology$xFieldwork. 676 $a551.79 701 $aEvans$b David J.
