Glaciotectonism is an important component of modern glacial theory,
gaining widespread recognition within the past 25 years. This book
is outcome of compiling maps of glaciotectonic structures and
landforms for North America and central Europe, which is the basis
for better understanding the role of glaciotectonism as a key
component of glacial theory.
Glaciotectonism is intented to provide a comprehensive review and
description of glaciotectonic phenomena. The subject matter is
arranged in three broad sections. First, definitions, principles,
and methodologies of glaciotectonics in the field as well as in the
laboratory are described. Next, case histories of glaciotectonic
structures and landforms from the land and continental shelf
regions of North America and Eurasia are then covered in detail.
Practical applications for mining, highway construction, and other
human activities are also described. The last part of the book
covers regional and continental distribution of glaciotectonic
phenomena, dynamics of glaciotectonic deformation, and analogous
non-glacial deformation.
* Provides definitions, principles, and methodology of
investigation for glaciotectonic phenomena
* Features case histories of glaciotectonic structures and
landforms from the glaciated land and continental shelf regions of
North America and Eurasia
* Analyzes mechanical and theoretical glaciotectonic deformation;
analogous deformation of non-glacial origin
