Abstract
Glaciers response to climate change and their contribution to sea level partly depends on subglacial processes. These processes are recorded in the resultant till. Recent technical developments that can help our understanding of the bed include: in situ sensors, geophysical techniques and detailed velocity changes (from GPS, satellite, TLS, UAV and time lapse cameras). The subglacial environment is dominated by changes in pore water pressure which change in space and time. The resultant sedimentological characteristics of different tills are discussed along with in situ and experimental results for sedimentation styles, rates and till fabric development.
