Dieser Band diskutiert aus moderner Sicht die zeitabhängige Entwicklung der letzten Gletscher - Hinterlassenschaften der jüngsten Eiszeit. Wichtige Schwerpunkte bilden die Bewegung und die Fließeigenschaften der Eisschichten, die Verformung wassergesättigter Sedimente unter dem Eis, neue geologische Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes der letzten Vereisung sowie eine gründliche Einführung in einschlägige numerische Modelle. Since 1981, a great deal has been learned about the world s Quaternary Ice Sheets. This book summarizes current understanding about the evolution of the last ice sheets and their response to and influence on environmental change.…mehr
