Specific sections cover till types, till fabric analysis and how folds and fabric can be analysed to interpret the glacial environment. Each section is supported by exercises for project work and self-assessment.
A series of videos illustrate contrasting glaciated environments from Alaska, New Zealand, Svalbard and the Alps. Full colour images, animations, links to Internet sites and full hypertext presentation feature throughout, bringing topics alive and allowing full user interaction.
