Abstract
Various kinds of diapirs, intrusions and wedges are widely and commonly reported from glaciogenic sequences. Intrusive structures range in lateral size from only a few cm to > 100 m (fig. 1-4) and may have vertical dimensions of several lOs of m. Intrusive structures rarely give rise to distinctive or noticeable landforms, but they may dominate the subsurface character of a glacial sequence (fig. 7-1).
