Service Description: The central part of the South Island of New Zealand contains an array of landforms produced by the action of glaciers, spanning from prehistoric time through to the present day. Glaciers are expressions of atmospheric climatic conditions, and their advances and retreats, as recorded by distinctive landforms, provide a measure of past climate changes. As one of the few landmasses in the Southern Hemisphere, and especially one where glaciers have had a persistent presence, New Zealand’s glacier record is an important piece of information for enquiry into the natural behaviour of Earth’s climate system. The central South Island record benefits from having modern glaciers, whose historic behaviour provides an analogue for the interpretation of the prehistoric record. In addition, the prehistoric record provides context to the widespread retreat of Southern Alps glaciers within the last hundred years or so, and questions about future climate change.
The central South Island glacial geomorphological (CSIGG) digital database documents these landforms. This dataset was used to generate the printed 1:100,000 geomorphological map, on a five-sheet large-format cut-up, that was enclosed in GNS Science Monograph 27 (Barrell et al., 2011).
