Description :
The AA. present data on relict marginal moraine morphology and distribution in the Swedish mountains. These data are used to suggest formational conditions for the moraines and palaeoglaciological implications for the final part of the late Weichselian deglaciation. To that end, they have mapped and classified 234 relict marginal moraines and 233 contemporary glacier moraines for comparison, providing the first comprehensive inventory of marginal moraines in the Swedish mountains.
