Map and GIS database of glacial landforms and features related to the last British Ice Sheet
A review of the academic literature and British Geological Survey mapping is employed to produce a ‘Glacial Map’, and accompanying geographic information system (GIS) database, of features related to the last (Devensian) British Ice Sheet. The map (1:625000) is included in a folder and GIS data are...
