Проблемы геоморфологии гляциальных шельфов

Аннотация

The paper discusses geomorphic features of shelves which had been affected to some extent by the Quaternary ice sheets. The emphasis is on the elements which have been controlled by glaciation-related processes of relief-formation and sedimentation. Analyzing the glaciated shelves topography in the Northern Hemisphere the authors argue in favor of the «Antarctic» model of their evolution during the glaciations on the basis of their own data from high-resolution echosounding and seismic profiling, drilling and also from recent publications.
