J.D. Lehr's interest in this area began in , when he began a Master's thesis at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. He mapped the Quaternary geology of the area between the eastern Mesabi range and the Vermilion moraine. Much of this area had been covered by Glacial Lake Norwood.

A glacier is an extended mass of ice formed from snow falling and accumulating over a long period of time; glaciers move very slowly, either descending from high mountains, as in valley glaciers, or moving outward from centers of accumulation, as in continental glaciers. Areas of study within glaciology include glacial history and the reconstruction of past glaciation. Glacial geomorphology map of the Neutral Hills Upland area of southeast central Alberta. Grid lines define bespoke co-ordinate system for ease of reference when using following figures. Following figure captions use this co-ordinate system to identify the mid-point of the grid square in which the landform examples occur (e.g., C7, F14, A5).Author: David J.A. Evans, Nigel Atkinson, Emrys Phillips.

Edmonton, Research Council of Alberta, University of Alberta, The Coteau ice advance boundary was mapped in east-central Alberta. The terminal Coteau moraine was found to be located from 10 to 20 miles east of the terminal Coteau ice advance boundary.

Three tills were differentiated in the area: a basal Grey till, the Viking till, and the Coteau till. of the Castor district fonns part of a program to map the glacial geology of east-central Alberta.

The Castor district lies within the Torlea flats which is a north-south belt of relatively featureless ground moraine in east-central Alberta.

The St. Ann map area, containing approximately 4, square miles, lies 55 miles west of Edmonton, Alberta, between longitudes ° and ° West, and latitudes 53° 7' and 54° North.

Glacial Geology: Ice sheets and landforms, Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and provides a modern, comprehensive summary of glacial geology and geomorphology.

The book clearly outlines glacial landforms and sediments and provides the reader with the tools required to interpret glacial landscapes/5(14). The new Second Edition of Glacial Geology provides a modern, comprehensive summary of glacial geology and geomorphology.

It is has been thoroughly revised and updated from the original First Edition. This book will appeal to all students interested in the landforms and sediments that make up glacial landscapes.

The aim of the book is to outline glacial landforms and sediments and to provide. Landforms presented in this synthesis include streamlined subglacial bedforms, moraines, ice-thrust moraines, glacially overridden moraines, meltwater channels, eskers, crevasse-fill ridges and erratic dispersal trains.
