Tunnel valleys and terminal glacial systems: an integrated study approach of complex sedimentary environments ...
The complexity of the glacial environment and its deposits is guided by the large temporal and spatial variability of depositional and erosional processes underneath and around the ice-sheets. Understanding the mechanisms that link ice-sheets' behaviour to the onset and evolution of glaciations...
