En proglacial miljö är en integrerad del av ett glacialt landskap, där smältvattensavlagrade landformer är vanligt förekommande. Deras utseende är beroende av ett antal olika faktorer, så som processer aktiva under transport och deposition samt ursprungsmaterialets karaktär. Denna artikel syftar till att undersöka två terrestra smältvattens-successioner från de terminala delarna av glaciären MyrdaProglacial environments are an integrated part of the glacier landscape, housing a variety of landforms fed by glacier meltwater.
