Special Publication 368

Glaciogenic reservoirs and hydrocarbon systems occur intermittently throughout the stratigraphic record, with particular prominence in Neoproterozoic, Late Ordovician, Permo-Carboniferous and Late Cenozoic strata. Recent interest in glaciogenic successions has been fuelled by hydrocarbon discoveries in ancient glaciogenic reservoirs in North Africa, the Middle East, Australia and South America. Glaciogenic deposits of Pleistocene age are noteworthy for their content of groundwater onshore and their potentially prospective and/or hazardous gas accumulations offshore. The abundant imprints of Pleistocene glaciations in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres can be used to reconstruct complex histories of repeated ice cover and retreat, and glacier-bed interactions, thus informing our view on the dynamics of older ice caps and predictions of future glaciations. This volume aims to provide a better understanding of glaciogenic processes and their depositional signatures by presenting studies of ancient glaciogenic sequences alongside studies of the most recent glaciogenic sequences in NW Europe and Antarctica.

Reviews

Review by John Marshall
19.02.2014

Featured in Geoscientist Vol 23.9 October 2013

... The volume stands out as a landmark contribution to the understanding of the relatively poorly-documented subglacial tunnel valleys (addressed in 10 of the contributions), significant as potential aquifers, shallow gas hazards and producers of seismic artefacts and which have been opened up by academic access to commercial seismic surveys.

The volume is well produced; glitches are few and far between: I could mention on page five the reference to Cryogenian deposits in Fig 5a which turn out to be Pleistocene, for example; but there is nothing that impedes understanding and I would thoroughly recommend its purchase to anyone working these fascinating reservoirs as a new source of analogue material.
