Bibliography of Moraine Deposits in Denmark 1875-1974

Abstract

The literature on Quaternary glacigene deposits in Denmark is extensive, and it may easily involve a great deal of work to unearth the relevant material on a smaller region of Denmark or on a specific subject. It is therefore my hope that this bibliography will prove helpful to students in finding this type of literature and that it may serve as a guide to students interested in the history/ development of geology, helping them to understand the background for our present interpretation of the genesis and extension of the Quaternary glacial deposits in this country. The bibliography was originally planned as part of a Nordic project. Thus the subject index was prepared in cooperation with colleagues from the other Nordic countries. Unfortunately, so many practical difficulties arose that the joint publication was abandoned. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking my colleagues for an inspiring collaboration, which due to external reasons did not lead to the result hoped for. Thanks to Jon Eirfksson (Iceland), Sylvi Haldorsen (Norway), Hans G. Johansson (Sweden) and Marjatta Pcrttunen (Finland). To professor A. Dreimanis (Canada) I express my gratitude for many stimulating discussions concerning the subject index.
