Arctic: Quaternary Science Reviews, v 16, p. 957-973. Reviews
processes by which water flows on and through arctic glaciers
and
notes that meltwater from non-temperate glaciers can be surprisingly
sediment rich.

Overpeck et al., 1997, Arctic environmental change of the last
four
centuries: Science, v. 278, p. 1251-1256. A compilation of paleoclimate
records from lake sediments, trees, glaciers and marine sediments
provides a view of circum-Arctic environmental variability over
the last 400 years, with a focus n warming following the Little
Ice Age.
