ERS 547 - The Role of Continental Glaciers in Global Climate Change

Integrates critical aspects of glacial geology and glaciology to better understand the configuration and dynamics of paleo continental glaciers. Examines the role of ice sheet dynamics in long term and abrupt global climate change. Landscape features used to diagnose such ice sheet changes are found in many areas as well as in Maine. Examples of critical features will be examined during field trips.
