Glaciotectonic Structures in Central Sweden and their Significance for Glacial Theory

Glacialtektoniska strukturer i Mellan-Sverige och deras betydelse for glaciationsteorin. Glacialtektoniska strukturer och landformer uppkomna genom istryck âr vanliga i glaciala och interstadiala sediment i ett smalt stràk genom mellersta Sverige. De beskrivna exemplen fran Storsjôtrakten visar att...
