For undergraduate-level courses in Glacial Geology and Geomorphology taken by science and non-science students.
Featuring an accessible, non-mathematical, but rigorous conceptual treatment—with numerous very simple explanatory illustrations—this introduction to the basic principles of glaciology, geomorphology, and geology serves as a portal to the more advanced literature in the field and to discussion and research of the local situation. Focusing on processes and history (not just descriptions), it helps students understand how glaciers form and move, what effect they have, when and where they have affected the Earth, and the consequences of ice ages.
