Glacial deposits provide a long-term record of climate and sea
level changes on Earth. Detailed study of sedimentary rocks
deposited during and immediately after glacial episodes is
paramount to accurate palaeoclimatic reconstructions and for our
understanding of global climatic and eustatic changes. This book
presents new information and interpretations of the ancient glacial
record, looking in particular at the Late Proterozoic and Late
Paleozoic eras. The influence of global tectonics on the origins
and distribution of ice masses and the character of glacial
deposits through geologic time is emphasised. Sequence
stratigraphic techniques are applied to glaciogenic successions,
and explanations for possible low-latitude glaciation during the
Late Proterozoic era and the association of carbonate deposits with
glaciogenic rocks are put forward. Early interglacial conditions,
represented by dark grey mudrocks and ice keel scour features are
discussed. These studies, from key workers in International
Geological Correlation Program Project 260, will aid the
understanding of the Earth's climatic history.
