Summary: | International audience Hydrogeology is defined as the science of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water below the Earth's surface. This chapter will focus on groundwater occurrence and movement below or at the periphery of ancient and modern ice sheets (e.g., glaciohydrogeology), but also on the interaction of meltwater with the sediments and rocks within glaciated terrain. The growth of ice sheets has a largescale and long-term impact on groundwater flow as evidenced by modern groundwater flow which locally did not recover from the Late Pleistocene glacial period (Lemieux et al., 2008b). Over the last 20 years, the interest in glacial hydrogeology from glaciologists, hydrologists, and glacial geologists has significantly increased because of the impact of groundwater flow on ice sheet dynamics, water budgets in glacial catchments, solute fluxes, and tunnel valley genesis ( |
