This course provides a systematic review of glacial processes and landforms with an emphasis on topics that are central to understanding of how glaciers operate as geomorphic agents. The course reviews the processes responsible for sediment erosion, transport and deposition as well as the erosional and depositional landforms. The characteristics of these landforms are reviewed using a variety of examples, including illustrations from both the Himalayas and the Alps. The geological record of glacial fluctuations is described with focus on the latter portion of the Quaternary.
