Loess, Pebble Bands, and Boulders from Glacial Outwash of the Greenland Continental Glacier

This paper discusses the action of the glacial anticyclone of Greenland upon the outwash deposit at its front, and the manner of deposition of loess, pebble layers, and stranded boulders etched by drifting sand which is now collected in dunes. Of much significance is the fact that the braided streams on the outwash plain flow only for a few months of the year.
