Abstracts of Papers Presented at the Symposium But Not Published in Full in this Volume: Subglacial, Englacial, and Supraglacial Sediment Differentiation and Erosion in Glacial Basins
Abstract If sediments being transported by glaciers in subglacial, englacial, and supraglacial situations can be differentiated on the basis of their textural characteristics, some potential exists for interpreting the relative importance of subglacial and sub-aerial periglacial processes in the exc...

Abstract If sediments being transported by glaciers in subglacial, englacial, and supraglacial situations can be differentiated on the basis of their textural characteristics, some potential exists for interpreting the relative importance of subglacial and sub-aerial periglacial processes in the excavation of glacial valleys, by examining the sediments in abandoned or active terminal moraines.
