ABSTRACT
The aim of this contribution is to describe the landform-sediment assemblages at the margins of polythermal glaciers in Svalbard and to present a landsystem model for terrestrially-based glaciers in this maritime high-arctic setting. The discussion is restricted principally to non-surge-type glaciers as the landform-sediment assemblages at surge-type glaciers are considered in a separate chapter (Evans and Rea, Chapter 11). The structural glaciological controls on landform development are described, together with the dominant landform types and their sedimentary facies.
