Examples of glacigenic sediments and erosional events on the Mid-Norwegian continental shelf
This extended abstract describes the glacial history of the Norwegian offshore area between 6 M " N from the coast to the shelf edge. Attention is focused on the Skjoldryggen moraine, which is the most impressive end moraine on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (Holtedahl 1940; Holtedahl & Se...
