Paraglacial evolution of Conway glacier complex foreland, Northwestern Spitsbergen, Svalbard

International audience This study aims to provide information concerning paraglacial evolution of landforms and sediments in a proglacial area in the Kongsfjorden area. Several subjects are emphasized: 1- chronology of deglaciation 2 - morphology of landforms 3 - sedimentology of deposits 4 - disint...

Summary:International audience This study aims to provide information concerning paraglacial evolution of landforms and sediments in a proglacial area in the Kongsfjorden area. Several subjects are emphasized: 1- chronology of deglaciation 2 - morphology of landforms 3 - sedimentology of deposits 4 - disintegration of the moraine complex by contemporary processes
