Crucial are glacier-related hazards impacting directly on human society and glacial landforms and sediments lying at the surface of some of the most densely populated parts of our planet. ‘Glaciers, humans, and enduring ice’ considers glacial hazards, such as glacial lake outburst floods, and important engineering considerations, including sediment failure and seepage. It discusses the valuable legacy of past glaciations and asks if Earth is entering a new phase of ice-free conditions, the like of which it has not endured for more than 35 million years.","PeriodicalId":325510,"journal":{"name":"Glaciation: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133480129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Erosional landforms can be discussed in categories defined by three spatial scales: microscale, macroscale, and megascale, the latter also including whole landscapes that have unmistakable glacial erosional origins. ‘Eroded by ice’ describes these different erosional forms and explains that they are rarely viewed in isolation because microscale erosional marks are superimposed on macroscale forms, which in turn are superimposed on megascale surfaces to constitute erosional landscapes.","PeriodicalId":325510,"journal":{"name":"Glaciation: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"02 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130108725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These optimum conditions are met in regions of high altitude and high latitude, but can be met at high altitudes in equatorial regions and lower altitudes towards the poles. Other conditions must also be satisfied: aspect, relief, and the distance from the nearest moisture source. The balance and equilibrium of glaciers is also explained along with their key features and how they act as archives of climate change.","PeriodicalId":325510,"journal":{"name":"Glaciation: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115995446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Where a glacier acts to deform and gradually mix its substrate it will create a melange or glacitectonite. At the highly deformed end of the spectrum, the material is close to being fully homogenized into a diamicton and at this point it becomes a subglacial till.
