This book is a comprehensive overview of the ever-captivating field of glaciation from the
perspective of glacial landsystems. This approach models the many processes, forms and …

Abstract Early, Middle, and Late Pleistocene till units are exposed in Wisconsin, some of
which are intensely weathered and possess reversed remanent magnetization. Late …

Publisher Summary Wisconsin was glaciated several times during the Quaternary and lies
well north of the maximum extent of Quaternary glaciations. However, the Driftless Area of …

Pleistocene permafrost had a major but generally unappreciated effect on the landscape of
Wisconsin, second only to glaciation. Evidence for continuous permafrost during the last part …

Tunnel channels are some of the more conspicuous landforms resulting from Pleistocene
glaciation in Wisconsin. Many are several hundred meters wide, several meters to tens of …

Ice-walled-lake plains are prominent in many areas of hummocky-till topography left behind
as the Laurentide Ice Sheet melted from middle North America. The formation of the …

Glacial hummocks associated with the Superior Lobe in western Wisconsin are stagnant‐ice
features composed of melt‐out till, meltwater‐stream sediment, and flow till. The greater …

Megafloods from glacial lakes were common along the margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet
during the last deglaciation. These outbursts resulted in a complex network of spillways with …

The concept of a loess transportation surface portends that saltating sands deflate silt/dust
and send them into suspension. This process continues until a topographic barrier stops the …
