Journal Article
Darvill, C. M., Bentley, M. J., & Stokes, C. R. (2015). Geomorphology and weathering characteristics of erratic boulder trains on Tierra del Fuego, southernmost South America: implications for dating of glacial deposits. Geomorphology, 228, 382-397. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.09.017

Erratic boulder trains (EBTs) are a useful glacial geomorphological feature because they reveal former ice flow trajectories and can be targeted for cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating. However, understanding how they are transported and deposited is...
