Drumlin question
Hello TPFDowling, I wonder if you have remained faithful to the sources cited in your edit to drumlin. It is important to keep apart what is backed by the citations and what is not. —Lappspira (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lappspira, I do indeed. Just don't have time right now to go and put in them, will do so later. All of the edits I just made are getting it up to the level of the standard text book of the field 'Glaciers and Glaciation' by Ben and Evans, 2010. Will dig out the individual papers. The drumlin landform and the 'drumlin problem' are complex and the subject of much ongoing changes/research in the understanding of them. The old version of the article presented one view, that is frankly viewed as very wide of the mark by most in the field, I left that view in and will develop the others more fully in time.


 * Nice. Remember that the 1998 edition of 'Glaciers and Glaciation' might somewhat different examples (than the 2010 edition). There is also some 'drumlin symposium' publications in the journal Geomorphology perhaps these could also be useful if you can access.. —Lappspira (talk) 17:02, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Indeed, there are quite a few differences. I'm coming to the end of my PhD studying them... I ended up making these edits because as I start to write the final papers I figured I should check what wikipedia said ;-). And it was so bad I couldn't resist. And yup there are quite a few symposium collections, another one is in the works now. As I write up the intro to my thesis I will come back and update this with a layman friendly, referenced version.
