PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR SOIL AND STRATIGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF GLACIAL SUCCESSIONS: FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Offers quick-reference for use with the Field Guide in glaciated areas. The Practical Handbook discusses the descriptive elements of glacial sediments and stratigraphic sequences for environmental and geotechnical projects. The Practical Handbook is easy to use in the field, but is also intended to discuss the purpose of sediment descriptions in the context of glacial depositional environments and secondary weathering processes. It is filled with photos showing examples of glacial deposits from exposures and core samples of various depositional environments, some altered by secondary weathering processes. The Practical Handbook is recommended with the first purchase of a Field Guide.
