Glaciofluvial

Trends in dominance of glaciofluvial deposits or of till and lacustrine deposits can be recognized.

Another unusual ice-contact feature is an esker, a long, narrow, steep-sided ridge of glaciofluvial sand and gravel inhabiting a glaciated area.

During the last decade, there has been a growing interest in understanding the nature of groundwater resources of Finnish glaciofluvial deposits and in the production of artificial groundwater in order to protect future water supplies.
