Introduction to Proglacial Glaciofluvial Landforms | Outwash Plains | Kame and Kettle Topography | Kames | Kettles What are proglacial glaciofluvial landforms? Glaciofluvial landforms are created by glacial meltwater processes, occurring in supraglacial (on top of the glacier), englacial (within the glacier), subglacial (beneath the glacier) and proglacial (in front and beyond glacial margins) environments1. …

What are meltwater channels? Each year, glaciers melt. Meltwater channels are erosional features, cut into rock and sediment by flowing water beneath or close to ice-sheet margins1,2. They can cut sizeable troughs, meaning that they are very visual indicators of the location of the former ice margin. Meltwater channels can therefore be used to work …
