Models of glaciomarine sedimentation and their application to the interpretation of ancient glacial sequences

This paper argues that glaciomarine environments can be regarded as special, glacially-influenced types of continental margin environments (e.g. continental shelf, slope, rise and basin plain). Knowledge of the stratigraphic architecture and typical sedimentary sequences of non-glacial margins is becoming well-known but remains limited for those that have been glacially modified. The principal influences on sedimentation in these environments …
