The code was originated for use in describing Quaternary Domains in the Sellafield (Cumbria) area. To avoid potential confusion it should be used only for similar purposes in future. See also GLOD, GLOF, GLOG and GLOS. Note that on the related Quaternary Domains map, this category was described as: "GLACIALLY OVER-RIDDEN TERRAIN (by Readvance Ice) (recognised by scattered hill-hole pairs, extensional normal faulting dying out at depth, surficial Scottish Readvance diamicton and associated subglacial shearing)". |
