冰川前场是从冰川条件向非冰川条件过渡的景观；这意味着强烈的地貌、水文和生态动态，具有重要的场内和场外影响。本期特刊收集了13篇论文，涵盖了(亚)极地和高山前冰川环境中最近的研究，重点是(I)前冰川沉积物来源，(Ii)前冰川河流，(Iii)前冰川湖泊，(Iv)地下水和冰，以及(V)土壤和植被的发展及其与地貌动力学的相互作用。测绘、测量和地球物理技术的进步构成了研究视角的基础，这些视角涉及前冰川地区的历史演变、了解多个过程的复杂相互作用以及冰川持续衰退的影响。版权所有©2015 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Glacier forefields are landscapes in transition from glacial to non‐glacial conditions; this implies intense geomorphic, hydrological and ecological dynamics with important on‐ and off‐site effects. This special issue collects 13 papers covering recent research in both (sub‐)polar and alpine pro‐glacial environments that focus on (i) pro‐glacial sediment sources, (ii) pro‐glacial rivers, (iii) pro‐glacial lakes, (iv) ground water and ice, and (v) the development of soil and vegetation in its interplay with morphodynamics. Advances in mapping, surveying and geophysical techniques form the basis for research perspectives related to the historical evolution of pro‐glacial areas, the understanding of complex interactions of multiple processes, and the effects of continued glacier recession.
