| Abstract | The first edition of Glacial Geology: Ice Sheets and Landforms was published in 1996. This second edition updates and revises that edition while staying true to the original purpose of the authors to provide a straight forward, comprehensive overview of glacial studies for undergraduates. Chapters include: Introduction; Glaciations around the globe; Mass balance and the mechanisms of ice flow; Glacier hydrology; Processes of glacial erosion; Landforms of glacial erosion; Glacial debris entrainment and transport; Glacial sedimentation on land; Landforms of glacial deposition on land; Glacial sedimentation in water; Landforms of glacial deposition in water; and Paleoglaciology.
