  • Trip F the PINNACLE HILLS and the MENDON KAME AREA: CONTRASTING MORAINAL DEPOSITS by Robert A
    F-1 Trip F THE PINNACLE HILLS AND THE MENDON KAME AREA: CONTRASTING MORAINAL DEPOSITS by Robert A. Sanders Department of Geosciences Monroe Community College INTRODUCTION The Pinnacle Hills, fortunately, were voluminously described with many excellent photographs by Fairchild, (1923). In 1973 the Range still stands as a conspicuous east-west ridge extending from the town of Brighton, at about Hillside Avenue, four miles to the Genesee River at the University of Rochester campus, referred to as Oak Hill. But, for over thirty years the Range was butchered for sand and gravel, which was both a crime and blessing from the geological point of view (plates I-VI). First, it destroyed the original land form shapes which were subsequently covered with man-made structures drawing the shade on its original beauty. Secondly, it allowed study of its structure by a man with a brilliantly analytical mind, Herman L. Fair­ child. It is an excellent example of morainal deposition at an ice front in a state of dynamic equilibrium, except for minor fluctuations. The Mendon Kame area on the other hand, represents the result of a block of stagnant ice, probably detached and draped over drumlins and drumloidal hills, melting away with tunnels, crevasses, and per­ foration deposits spilling or squirting their included debris over a more or less square area leaving topographically high kames and esker F-2 segments with many kettles and a large central area of impounded drainage. There appears to be several wave-cut levels at around the + 700 1 Lake Dana level, (Fairchild, 1923). The author in no way pretends to be a Pleistocene expert, but an attempt is made to give a few possible interpretations of the many diverse forms found in the Mendon Kames area.

De Geer (1858–1943), these moraines are low amplitude ridges that developed subaqueously by a combination of sediment deposition and squeezing and pushing of sediment along the grounding-line of a water-terminating ice margin. They typically occur as a series of closely-spaced ridges presumably recording annual retreat-push cycles under limited sediment supply. Equifinality A term used to convey the fact that many landforms or bedforms, although of different origins and with differing sediment contents, may end up looking remarkably similar in the final form. Equilibrium line It is the altitude on an ice mass that marks the point below which all previous year’s snow has melted.

  • Glaciers I: Intro, Geology and Mass Balance
    T. Perron – 12.001 – Glaciers 1 Glaciers I: Intro, Geology and Mass Balance I. Why study glaciers? • Role in freshwater budget o Fraction of earth’s water that is fresh (non-saline): 3% o Fraction of earth’s freshwater that is ice: ~2/3 o Fraction of earth’s surface covered by ice: ~8% • Climate records, climate effects & feedbacks: more in climate lecture • Postglacial rebound helps constrain mantle viscosity • Major driver of erosion, sediment transport, and landscape evolution • But how important have glaciers been over Earth’s history? o Over very long timescales, there seems to be a rhythm to glaciations . From geologic evidence: 950 Ma, 750, 650, 450, 350-250, 4-? . Proposed to reflect arrangement of continents (supercontinents promote accumulation of continental ice). But we don’t even have a very good record of this beyond a few hundred Myr, let alone precise climate records o We have better records for more recent intervals . Antarctic glaciation began 25 Ma, Greenland 20Ma, Alaska 7Ma. Major Northern hemisphere glaciations began ~4Myr. And this has been the typical climate state since! . Again, more in climate lecture. For now, suffice to say that glacial periods have dominated recent climate history. We’re in an interglacial, the first major one since ~125 ka. And our interglacial is an anomalously warm one. We must remind ourselves of this when examining landforms today. o What was North America like during glacial conditions? During LGM, we know there were . Extensive ice sheets [PPT] . Alpine glaciers in mountains beyond the ice margin . Large glacially-dammed lakes (Missoula, Bonneville) [PPT] .

  • A Comparative Analysis of Selected Drumlin Fields in North America
    MORPHOLOGY OF DRUMLINS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED 415 DRUMLIN FIELDS IN NORTH AMERICA Morphology of Drumlins: A Comparative Analysis of Selected Drumlin Fields in North America Amy Annen Faculty Sponsor: Dean Wilder, Department of Geography and Earth Science ABSTRACT Pleistocene glaciers revealed numerous types of land formations in their retreat northward during climatic warming. The postglacial landscape contains various features, such as moraines, flutes, and drumlin fields. Drumlin fields in southeast- ern Wisconsin and west central New York are compared in terms of drumlin morphology to ascertain regional differences between drumlin fields formed by dif- ferent lobes of the Wisconsinan Laurentide ice sheet. Topographic maps of the Wisconsin and New York study areas are used to measure physical characteristics of individual drumlins. Drumlins from the two glacial lobes differ significantly on the basis of length, width, and relief, but are similar in terms of nearest neighbor proximity and width/length ratios. Differences between the drumlin belts in Wisconsin and New York may result from natural variations in glacial conditions during formation, although the specific mechanisms remain elusive. INTRODUCTION Repeated advances and retreats of continental ice sheets characterized the late Pleistocene epoch (130,000 to 10,000 years BP.). The Pleistocene ice expansion during Wisconsin Glaciation occurred approximately 20,000 to 10,000 years BP. At about 17,000 to 18,000 years BP., the Laurentide ice sheet extended to its maximum position south of the Great Lakes, marked by a terminal moraine (Easterbrook, 1993, Benn and Evans, 1998). In the years following maximum advance, the ice sheet revealed numerous types of land formations in the retreat northward during climatic warming.

  • Erosion and Glaciers
    Erosion and Glaciers In this lesson you will: 1.4.1 Define the terms outwash plain, terminal moraine, erratic, drumlin, and esker. (k) Continental Glaciers vs. Alpine glaciers Continental glaciers cover parts of continental land masses like Greenland; Alpine glaciers are found high in mountain valleys, above the snow-line. Ice Age Over the last million years, there were at least four major ice ages. Geographers have found evidence to support this theory by drilling into existing ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. The last ice age ended about 10 000 years ago. Differences: Alpine/Continental Glaciers Location; Alpine glaciers are only found on mountain tops Continental glaciers are only found at the earth's poles regardless of elevation. Size; Alpine glaciers are smaller compared to Continental glaciers. Similarities: Alpine/Continental Glaciers Both move and cause erosion Both change the landscape Both developed in constantly cold temperatures below freezing. Figure 2.13 on page 34 of your text shows a continental glacier and the the land forms it creates through weathering and deposition. Features of Continental Glaciation Features of Continental Glaciation Outwash plain Terminal Moraine Erratics Drumlins Eskers Outwash plain: like a river Delta; meltwater flowing from a glacier deposits silt like river deltas; silt is deposited in layers; small particles are carried further away; larger particles drop closer to the glacier. Terminal Moraine & Erratics: : Terminal Moraine: heap or ridge of bulldozed gravel that marks the end of the forward motion of a glacier; as a glacier retreats it deposits debris/gravel. Erratics: large boulders that were transported long distances and dropped; they now sit in a region and look very much out- of-place.

  • Glacial Geology
    Wisconsin Department of Transportation Geotechnical Manual Chapter 2 Geology of Wisconsin Section 3 Glacial Geology Glaciation has had a pronounced effect on the landscape, subsurface strata, and soils of the state. This section will examine the occurrences, movements, extent, and impacts of glaciation on the physical surface of Wisconsin. A number of terms and definitions associated with glaciers and glacial geology will also be presented. 2-3.1 Terms and Definitions An understanding of the following list of terms is important to understand glacial history and processes: Glacier A large ice mass flowing due to its own weight and gravity. Continental glaciers covered thousands of square miles of the earth’s surface and were 1 to 2 miles thick in some areas. Drift A general term for glacially deposited material. Till A heterogeneous mixture of soil and rock fragments carried and deposited by a glacier. End Moraine A distinct ridge of till accumulated at the line of maximum advance of a glacier. Also called a terminal moraine. Recessional Distinct ridges of till formed behind end moraines as the glacier receeded. These Moraine features mark positions of glacial stagnation or renewed advance. Ground Till deposited in an indistinct manner as the glacier receded. Often Moraine consists of a relatively thin blanket of material marked by low hills and swales. Glacial Lakes Lakes that were formed along the front of a glacier due to the general contour of the land and the blockage of normal drainage channels. These lakes disappeared as the glaciers receded. Lacustrine Material deposited in glacial lakes forming the bed of those lakes.

Michigan, Kalamazoo, MI 49008, USA b Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality, Office of Geological Survey, USA c New York State Museum/Geological Survey, USA article info abstract Article history: The surficial terrain of the Saginaw Lobe in southern Michigan is divided into 4 landsystems, numbered Available online 23 July 2011 sequentially from southwest to northeast, containing related assemblages of sediments and landforms, two of which appear to have a genetic relationship with the bedrock units over which they lie. Land- system 1 consists of the Sturgis Moraine, a terminal/recessional moraine, and an adjacent drumlin field. The moraine is a high-relief ridge with hummocky topography and ice-walled lake plains at its crest, and thick, coarse outwash fans on its distal margin. The drumlin field extends up-glacier from the Sturgis Moraine across the subcrop of the Mississippian Coldwater Shale to the subcrop of the overlying Marshall Sandstone. The low permeability of the shale may have increased basal pore pressures into a range in which deformation of basal sediment into drumlins occurred. Landsystem 2 overlies the subcrop of the Marshall Sandstone. Stagnation of the lobe behind a discontinuous moraine in this area is indicated by high relief, collapse topography, composed of kames, eskers, and ice-walled lake plains.
