1909年，Lozinski提出了冰缘这一术语，用来描述更新世冰川附近但以外地区的寒冷气候条件，这鼓励了地球冰晶学和冰川学研究的分开发展。因此，冰川和永久冻土交界处的地质和地貌过程没有得到应有的重视，两者之间的影响在许多方面被忽视了。这本书包括了一系列强调冰川-永久冻土相互作用的论文。论文讨论了永久冻土及其对冰川构造过程、冰川融水系统和前冰期和冰缘环境中的地面冰发展的影响。此外，还报告了关于副冰川过程、多年冻土演化、岩石冰川、冰楔铸模的形成和冰缘斜坡演化的最新研究成果。
希望这本书将激发人们对冰川和冰缘系统之间的界面的兴趣，并鼓励冰川学家和冰川地质学家以及地球冰晶学家和永久冻土科学家进行进一步的合作研究。
The introduction of the term periglacial by Lozinski in 1909 to describe the cold-climate conditions in the zone adjacent to, but beyond, the Pleistocene glaciers encouraged the separate development of geocryological and glaciological research. Geological and geomorphological processes at the interface between glaciers and permafrost have, as a result, been given less attention than they warrant, and the influence of one on the other has in many respects been neglected. This book includes a collection of papers that emphasize glacier-permafrost interactions. Papers consider permafrost and its influence on glacitectonic processes, glacial meltwater systems and ground-ice development in proglacial and ice-marginal environments. In addition, recent research findings are reported on paraglacial processes, permafrost evolution, rock glaciers, the formation of ice-wedge casts and periglacial slope evolution.
It is hoped that this book will stimulate interest in the interface between glacial and periglacial systems, and encourage further collaborative research involving glaciologists and glacial geologists on the one hand, and geocryologists and permafrost scientists on the other.
