Geomorphology of Proglacial Systems Landform and Sediment Dynamics in Recently Deglaciated Alpine Landscapes /

This book discusses the recession of alpine glaciers since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA), which has been accelerating in the past decades. It provides an overview of the research in the field, presenting definitions and information about the different proglacial areas and systems. A number of...
