Description
This book is the first of three volumes in which the recent knowledge of the extent and chronology of Quaternary glaciations has been
compiled on a global scale. This information is seen as a fundamental requirement, not only for the glacial workers, but for the wider
user-community of general Quaternary workers. In particular the need for accurate ice-front positions is a basic requirement for the
rapidly growing field of palaeoclimate modelling. In order to provide the information for the widest-possible range of users in the most
accessible form, a series of digital maps was prepared.
The glacial limits were mapped in ArcView, the Geographical Information System
(GIS) used by the work group. Included with the publication is a CD with digital maps, showing glacial limits, end moraines, ice-dammed
lakes, glacier-induced drainage diversions and the locations of key sections through which the glacial limits are defined and dated.
For major parts of Europe also the extent of the maximum Eemian transgression has been indicated. The digital maps in this volume cover
all of Europe and parts of northwestern Siberia.
Both overview maps and more detailed maps at a scale 1: 1,000,000 are provided.
