3 High-resolution Geophysical Mapping of Submarine Glacial Landforms Glacial landforms are generated from the activity of glaciers and display spatial dimensions ranging from below one meter up to tens of kilometers This presentation illustrates how the evolution of marine geophysical mapping techniques made it possible to study submarine glacial landforms in detail Three examples illustrating what higher resolution seafloor mapping revealed Bolin Centre for Climate Research A collaboration between Stockholm University, KTH and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute
