European Glacial Landscapes 1st Edition

European Glacial Landscapes (1st Edition) by David Palacios, Philip D. Hughes, Vincent Jomelli, and Luis M. Tanarro is an authoritative, visually rich exploration of glacier-shaped terrain across Europe. Perfect for researchers, advanced students, environmental planners, and landscape enthusiasts, this volume synthesizes field studies, geomorphological mapping, and contemporary interpretations of Quaternary glaciation to decode the continent’s icy legacy.

Start your journey through the Alps, Scandinavia, the Pyrenees, the Iberian Peninsula, the Carpathians, and the British Isles with clear explanations of moraine systems, cirque development, drumlin fields, and fjord formation. The authors combine regional case studies with broader analysis of glacier dynamics, climate forcing, and post-glacial landscape evolution — making complex processes accessible without sacrificing scientific rigor.

Discover how remote-sensing observations and stratigraphic evidence reveal patterns of advance and retreat, and why these patterns matter for modern hydrology, hazard assessment, and conservation in European mountain and coastal environments. Rich regional context improves the book’s GEO relevance, helping readers connect local landforms to continental-scale glacial histories.

This book stands out for its readable style, integrated maps and photographs, and balanced mix of data-driven insight and practical interpretation. Whether you’re preparing fieldwork, designing research, or simply fascinated by how ice sculpts terrain, this work equips you with the concepts and regional perspectives needed to understand Europe’s glacial landscapes.
