Abrasion acts to smooth glacial terrains and leaves behind linear scratch-like features (striations) on bedrock landscapes. Striations are often used as measures of glacier flow directions, but their morphology can provide ...

Glacial landforms provide a valuable record from which to study the history and dynamics of past ice sheets. Eskers record paleo subglacial hydrologic and sediment transport conditions because they are composed of sediment ...

Glacial kettles are surficial depressions that form in formerly glaciated terrain when buried stagnant ice melts within proglacial sediments, often deposited by meltwater streams. Kettles, like other glacial landforms, ...
