Glacial Geology at UC

View images of, and learn about, Glaciers.

Originally set up for a class (15-GEOL-574) at the University of Cincinnati, everyone is invited to use the resources here.

  The Basic Problem
  Glacial deposits and features can result from glaciation of more than one age. Landscapes are a composite of sediments and landforms resulting from glacial activity, but we ask rather a given landscape is the result of only once glacial cycle or rather some features of older glacial cycles can still be recognized.
  
  For working purposes, we consider the last glacial cycle to be the Wisconsin and that it impacted central and southern Ohio from 23,000 to 15,000 14C years ago. We will lump any and all glacial cycles older than that into one package.
  
  Your final project is to undertake a geomorphic analysis and delineate on the supplied base map the areas where the landforms of glaciations older than the Wisconsin are still have a major influence on the landscape.
