Discusses the theory of drumlin formation by catastrophic flooding due to the release of meltwater from beneath melting ice sheets.

Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods Since 1983, several investigators have developed a theory of drumlin formation by catastrophic flooding due to the release of meltwater that is believed to have accumulated beneath melting ice sheets. The proposed catastrophic sheet floods,...Evidence for formation of Rogen landscapes by outburst floods of subglacial meltwater.

Sedimentary evidence favouring the formation of rogen landscapes by outburst floods Rogen landscapes are defined by the morphology of the ridges and troughs and their locations in areas of former glaciation. They are transitional with hummocky and drumlin landscapes in associations of subglacial bedforms. This paper concentrates on the sediments within...Glacier images, reports on subglacial volcanism and meltwater floods in Iceland, and information for students.
