| Glacial erosion and sediment production are of interest to diverse scientific communities concerned with the interaction of climatic, tectonic and surface processes that influence the evolution of orogens and with the climatic signals archived in glacigenic strata. We review the current state of knowledge on the generation, transfer, and accumulation of glacigenic sediment from land to sea. We draw from geomorphology, marine geology, geochronology, numerical modeling of surface processes and landscape evolution, and experimental and field observations of glacier erosion and deposition, and the interaction of ice with its bed and the ocean boundary. Our primary goal is to examine glacial systems using a holistic source-to-sink approach, with a focus on... |
