Abstract: Irregular mounds of glacial debris, commonly referred to as `hummocky moraine', until recently were linked to ice stagnation during rapid climatic amelioration. strong longitudinal compression. This is common where there is a transition from warm-based ice in the interior of a glacier to cold-based ice at the margins or snout. Some British moraines are also the product of thrusting. This appears to be dominant in polythermal glaciers, rather than in temperate glaciers.
