In recent years increased interaction between glacial geologists and glaciologists has led to the development of many exciting new ideas and techniques related to the reconstruction of former ice sheets. The 18 chapters in this volume demonstrate a variety of approaches to research on modern glaciers and to the evaluation of the geologic record of former ice sheets. The papers describe research on modern glaciers, providing insight on basal ice accretion, the evolution of subglacial drainage systems, and the analysis of glacigenic materials with respect to origin and the sliding of ice over fine-grained till. Papers describing research on former ice sheets deal with reconstructing ice-sheet profiles, ice-marginal conditions, flow patterns, ice-sheet dynamics, and subglacial conditions. All papers were presented at a symposium on paleoglaciology at the 1998 GSA North-Central Section meeting in Madison, Wisconsin.
