Glacially triggered faulting describes movement of pre-existing
faults caused by a combination of tectonic and glacially induced
isostatic stresses. The most impressive fault-scarps are found in
northern Europe, assumed to be reactivated at the end of the
deglaciation. This view has been challenged as new faults have been
discovered globally with advanced techniques such as LiDAR, and
fault activity dating has shown several phases of reactivation
thousands of years after deglaciation ended. This book summarizes
the current state-of-the-art research in glacially triggered
faulting, discussing the theoretical aspects that explain the
presence of glacially induced structures and reviews the
geological, geophysical, geodetic and geomorphological
investigation methods. Written by a team of international experts,
it provides the first global overview of confirmed and proposed
glacially induced faults, and provides an outline for modelling
these stresses and features. It is a go-to reference for
geoscientists and engineers interested in ice sheet-solid Earth
interaction.
