• Majestic Glacial Erratics and Serpentinite.
• As the vegetation and ground cover die back, things we often don't notice during the greener months become noticeable, like the glacial erratics which dot the Island. Glacial erratics are boulders which are "erratic" because they don't match the other (native) types of stone found where they appear, and which are "glacial" because a glacier pushed them from the place where they formed to their present location. ... The presence of glacial erratics like those found on Staten Island mark the edge zone of the glacier's advance.
• Glacial erratics are present on campus, but some of the most interesting examples are found in local parks. In High Rock Park, several smaller glacial erratics are to be found just off the Lavender (or Loosestrife Swamp) Trail; follow the Trail to the left from its starting point, and a glacial erratic rests just to the left after you cross the little footbridge. Sugarloaf Rock in Hero Park (at the corner of Victory Boulevard and Louis Street) is another glacial erratic. The Conference House, in Tottenville, Staten Island, is the southernmost edge of the glacial advance.
• Glacial erratics are only one of the ways in which Staten Island is geologically interesting. ...

• Glacial Sedimentary Environments .
• Study of modern glaciers in places like Iceland, Greenland, Norway, and Alaska has revealed different settings in which glacial and near-glacial materials are formed. ...
• The supraglacial and ice-marginal environments can readily be observed along glacial margins. ... Rain and glacial meltwater wash some of this material off the glacier or deposit it in ponds on top of the glacier. ...
• Here, glacial meltwater and summer rains carry debris away from the glacier or deposit it in lakes that come and go as the force of the water causes natural dams to give way and lakes to drain, sometimes catastrophically sweeping material away in the water. During winter when the proglacial environment dries out, glacial dust and sand storms carry fine particles (silt and sand) across the landscape. ...
• Because these sedimentary environments migrated across the landscape of Illinois as the glaciers came and went, their deposits are stacked up to form sequences of materials that record the glacial history of an area. For example, as a glacier advances across an area and later melts away, one might expect to find a glacial sequence from the base upward consisting successively of proglacial sediment, ice-marginal sediment, subglacial sediment, ice-marginal/supraglacial sediment, and proglacial sediment.

• Glacial landscapes.
• The Cairngorms is an area of outstanding importance for its glacial landforms (Gordon, 1993). It is the type area for landscapes of selective linear glacial erosion. It includes many fine examples of landforms of glacial erosion, including troughs and breaches and roche moutonnées. Glacial moraines, still little studied, occur in many corries and glens. ...

• Glacial History.
• The Issaquah Valley Aquifer was formed by glacial activity during the Vashon Stade (stage)of the Fraser Glaciation The following Glacial History is reprinted with permission from the LOWER ISSAQUAH VALLEY WELLHEAD PROTECTION STUDY (Golder Associates November 1993).
• Glacial ice entered the Puget Sound in late Pleistocene time (maximum extent about 15,000 years ago). ... A pro-glacial lake of limited extent formed in front of the advancing glacier. ... As the glacier advanced, it modified the previously existing topography and deposited glacial till. ...
• Stage 2: As the glacier receded farther north through present-day Issaquah, Glacial Lake Sammamish formed in what is now the lower Issaquah Valley. Melt waters flowed from the east along the North and East Forks of Issaquah Creek and deposited large deltas as they entered Glacial Lake Sammamish. Drainage out of Glacial Lake Sammamish at this time was still directed to the south through the Issaquah Gap and through Tibbetts Creek valley.
• Stage 3: The glacier continued to recede, and meltwaters entering Glacial Lake Sammamish through the North Fork of Issaquah Creek, where a large delta formed. The outlet drainage of Glacial Lake Sammamish continued to shift to the northwest through the Cedar Grove, Kennydale, and Eastgate Channels (now occupied by I-90). The deltas along the eastern shore of Glacial Lake Sammamish continued to form at this time.
• Stage 5 (Youngest): This deposit consists of a low delta located just south of Issaquah occurring at elevations of between 100 and 150 feet above sea level, which formed during the last stage of glacial recession.

• Glacial Extent .
• Glacial Extent .
• ' Previously, the Pleistocene was divided into four major glacial episodes: the Nebraskan, the Kansan, the Illinoian and the Wisconsin (In the order from oldest to most recent). Currently, several of these names are being replaced by more narrowly defined terms, for additional glacial stages are now recognized. ...
• Glacial boundaries are determined by piecing together the location of end moraines to depict the farthest known extent of a glacier and by determining the age of glacial drift, or glacial deposits. The continental ice sheet in North America was at its greatest extent for about 1/5 of the glacial epoch. The glacial stages are about 1/4 to 1/3 the length of the interglacial stages. Of the past 200,000 years, 75% have been under glacial conditions. ...

• Glacial Lake Missoula and the Ice Age Floods.
• Welcome to the Montana Natural History Center's Glacial Lake Missoula website. ...
• Glacial Lake Missoula formed as the Cordilleran Ice Sheet dammed the Clark Fork River just as it entered Idaho. The rising water behind the glacial dam weakened it until water burst through in a catastrophic flood that raced across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington toward the Pacific Ocean. ... Over the course of centuries, Glacial Lake Missoula filled and emptied in repeated cycles, leaving its story embedded in the land.
• Glacial Lake Missoula was as big as Lakes Erie and Ontario combined. ...

• Glacial History of the Coteau des Prairies .
• The portion of the Coteau des Prairies in South Dakota measures 100 miles in its greatest width, 200 miles in length, and is composed of glacial sediments from numerous glaciations. ... These studies provide a framework for more in-depth studies of the glacial history of the region.
• Although much is already known about the glacial history of the area, more work needs to be completed in the areas of Pleistocene stratigraphy, glacio-tectonics, glacial petrology, and geomorphology. Work completed in conjunction with the Geological Survey would contribute significantly to unraveling the glacial history of the Coteau des Prairie in South Dakota. ...
• These studies would be directed at refining our understanding of the glacial geology of a large area of eastern South Dakota. This is important because a large number of aquifers used as sources of drinking water and for irrigation by South Dakota farmers are within the glacial sand and gravel deposits of the Coteau des Prairie. ...
