Introduction
Chapter 1 Glaciers and glaciated landscapes as systems
1 The glacial system
2 Glacier movement
3 Glacial landforms and landscape systems
4 Feedback and equilibrium in glaciated landscape systems
5 Evaluating the issue: assessing the relative importance of different energy sources in the glaciated landscape system
Chapter 2 The range of glacial environments and their distribution
1 The classification of ice masses
2 The changing global distribution of ice masses and glacial landscapes
3 Evaluating the issue: to what extent can the characteristics of Pleistocene ice masses be accurately reconstructed using present-day landscape evidence?
Chapter 3 Processes and landforms of glacial erosion
1 Processes of weathering and glacial erosion
2 The factors influencing glacial erosion
3 Landforms of glacial erosion
4 Evaluating the issue: to what extent is glacial erosion the main influence on the development of cirques?
Chapter 4 Processes and landforms of glacial deposition
1 Processes of glacial and glaciofluvial transport
2 Processes of glacial and glaciofluvial deposition
3 Landforms of glacial and glaciofluvial deposition
4 Evaluating the issue: assessing the role of water and ice in the development of landscapes of glacial deposition
Chapter 5 Periglacial processes and landforms
1 Periglacial climates and environments
2 Ground ice formation and associated features
3 Landforms associated with freeze–thaw cycles and mass movement and the action of water and wind
4 Evaluating the issue: assessing the relative importance of water in the development of periglacial landforms
Chapter 6 The evolution of glacial landforms and landscapes in relation to climate change
1 Changing glacial processes and patterns
2 Glacial landforms and landscapes influenced by past and present climate change
3 Future climate change and glaciated landscapes
4 Evaluating the issue: to what extent are periglacial landscape systems more vulnerable to climate change than glaciated landscape systems?
Chapter 7 Human activity and glaciated landscape systems
1 Human activity in glacial environments
2 Human activity in periglacial environments
3 Evaluating the issue: discuss the varied changes human activity has brought to glacial and periglacial landscape systems
