Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pleistocene History of the Lower Wisconsin River: A Dissertation The Wisconsin River, rising among the glacial lakes in the northern part of the state of Wisconsin, flows almost due south nearly to Portage, where it turns and flowing westward for a dis tance of about 80 miles joins the Mississippi just south of Prairie du Chien (fig. I). It is this lower, east-west part of the river valley which is discussed in this paper'. The terminal moraine of the Wisconsin glacial epoch crosses the valley just east of Prairie du Sac and marks not only the eastern boundary of the region here considered but also that of the driftless area. Since glacial drift is found in Iowa opposite the lower end of the valley, it may be said that the Wisconsin River traverses from east to west the entire driftless area. It is thus seen that drift remnants which are found in this part of the valley are of important significance in the history of ancient ice invasions in bordering regions. These remnants of glacial drift in the valley fall naturally into two divisions: First, there are terraces of Wisconsin age: (a) remnants of the valley train Sloping from the terminal moraine, where it crosses the valley near Prairie du Sac, to the Mississippi River, and (b) a lower terrace standing only I 5 feet above the pres ent river flood-plain; and second, standing well above the preced ing terrace, are rock benches covered with much older drift. These upper benches have a gentle slope toward the east (fig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Large Rivers written by Avijit Gupta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management explores an important topic in geomorphology and sedimentology: the form and function of major rivers. Our knowledge of the big rivers of the world is limited. It is currently difficult to recognise large rivers of the past from relict sedimentary deposits or to structure management policies for long international rivers. This exciting book brings together a set of papers on large rivers of the world, as a unique introduction to a demanding subject. The book includes thirty chapters and is organised into three sections. The first part is on the environmental requirements for creating and maintaining a major river system. The second is a collection of case studies on 14 large rivers from different continents, covering a range of physical environments. The third section includes chapters on the measurement and management of large rivers. First book to offer in a single volume state-of-the-art knowledge on management and geomorphology of large rivers of the world A pioneering study, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge related to big rivers Includes comprehensive case studies covering the major large rivers of the world including Amazon, Mississippi, Nile, Congo, Indus, and Mekong Written by a leading team of distinguished, international contributors Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management is essential reading for postgraduate students and researchers in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, sedimentary geology, and river management. It is also of relevance to engineers and environmental consultants in the private and public sectors working on major rivers of the world.

Book excerpt: A counterpoint to biodiversity, geodiversity describes the rocks, sediments, soils, fossils, landforms, and the physical processes that underlie our environment. The first book to focus exclusively on the subject, Geodiversity describes the interrelationships between geodiversity and biodiversity, the value of geodiversity to society, as well as current threats to its existence. Illustrated with global case studies throughout, the book examines traditional approaches to protecting biodiversity and the new management agenda which is starting to be used instead.
