Former investigations conducting geomorphological mapping of Patagonia, a region formerly covered by an extensive ice sheet, have revealed a uniquely rich record of Quaternary glacial sediment-landform assemblages. Patagonia is located in the ocean-dominated southern mid-latitudes and in the pathway...
