River valley, before during and after glaciation.
- Glaciofluvial - in which glacially derived sediments were transported and deposited by
water.
The processes and products of each land system and environment are discussed in some
detail in Eyles (1985). Discussion in this present chapter will be limited to the glaciated val-
ley land system (the most significant in dam engineering) plus brief notes on glaciofluvial
and periglacial aspects.
