Editorial Reviews

The final report of the 1989 Finnish Work Group 9 of the INQUA on the Genesis and Lithology of Glacial Sediments entitled Glacigenic deposits as indicators of glacial movements and their use for indicator tracing in the search for ore deposits. Emphasizes the significance of extensive application of glacial geology, including both the lithology and geochemistry of glacial sediments and their genesis, stratigraphy and direction and distances of transport.
