The glacial sedimentary record, and the geomorphological features associated with it, are rightfully often seen through the prism of the modern day processes at work on Earth. Yet the issue of representativeness is a major factor in the correct interpretation of the sedimentary record. Which factors conspire to a glacial record dominated by steep-sided fjordal palaeovalleys, and which factors promote extensive till(ite) sheet deposits? In this session, through both talks and posters, we will explore through new contributions and perspectives the red thread that unites all glacial records. We warmly welcome workers on modern and ancient glacial records alike for a fruitful exchange.
