Synopsis:

Late Cenozoic glaciation affected sedimentation on more than half the Earth's continental shelves, and ice continues to be a dominant influence on marine sedimentation around Greenland, on the shelves facing the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica. This atlas consists of a collection of over 90 seismic characterizations of glacimarine sediments from both northern and southern latitudes. Each contribution gives a location map, seismic profiles or other geophysical information where appropriate, detailed facies analysis, and a full reference list. The atlas will serve as a reference for students, teachers and professional geologists working on glacimarine environments.
