This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stratigraphy of Unconsolidated Sediments in the Southern Part of Lake Michigan Underlying the Lake Michigan Formation is a series of glacial lacustrine deposits, including sand, sandy pebbly clay, silt, and clay pebble conglomerate. These deposits are more compact, coarser grained, and contain less water than those of the Lake Michigan Formation. They show the direct effect of nearby glaciers. The glacial-lacustrine deposits are assigned to the Carmi Member of the Equality Formation and overlie glacial tills that are assigned to the wadsworth Member of the Wedron Formation.

Download or read book Glacial Geology written by N. Eyles and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction for courses that involve some knowledge of glacial geology and sediments of formerly glaciated terrains. The early chapters describe depositional processes at modern glacier and ice-sheet margins relating sediments and landforms in recurring "landsystems". Later chapters portray the distribution of these landsystems in Pleistocene glaciated terrains of the mid-latitudes, focussing on commonly encountered problems in various fields from stratigraphic and sedimentological investigations to construction problems relating to roads and dams. The resulting text is a summation of a large body of literature previously accessible only to specialists. A substantial reference list is complemented by cross-references throughout.

Download or read book Quaternary Glaciations Extent and Chronology written by J. Ehlers and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an up-to-date, detailed overview of the Quaternary glaciations all over the world, not only with regard to stratigraphy but also with regard to major glacial landforms and the extent of the respective ice sheets. The locations of key sites are included. The information is presented in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a Geographical Information System (GIS) such as ArcView or ArcGIS. The accompanying text supplies the information on how the data were obtained (geomorphology, geological mapping, air photograph evaluation, satellite imagery), how the features were dated (14C, TL, relative stratigraphy) and how reliable they are supposed to be. All references to the underlying basic publications are included. Where controversial interpretations are possible e.g. in Siberia or Tibet, this is pointed out. As a result, the information on Quaternary glaciations worldwide will be much improved and supplied in a uniform digital format. The information on the glacial limits is compiled in digital form by the coordinators of the project, and is available for download at: http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780444534477/ Completely updated detailed coverage of worldwide Quaternary glaciations Information in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a GIS such as ArcView or ArcGis Step-by-step guideline how to open and use ArcGis files Possibility to convert the shapefiles into GoogleEarth kmz-files Availability of chronological controls
Download or read book Laboratory Studies of Till Deformation with Implications for the Motion and Sediment Transport of the Lake Michigan Lobe written by Jason Fleming Thomason and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glacier motion and sediment transport are attributed commonly to pervasive shearing of subglacial till to high strains (the bed-deformation hypothesis). However, the processes that control bed deformation are difficult to observe beneath modern glaciers, and observations of the geologic record have not been sufficient to determine whether tills have been sheared to the high strains required by this hypothesis. The shear strength of the ice-till interface controls whether a glacier slips over its bed or shears it pervasively over much of its thickness. When clasts gripped by basal ice plow through the bed, the ice-till interface is weakened. Results of experiments using a ring-shear device in which hemispheres were pushed through water-saturated till indicate a progressive decrease in resistive force on hemispheres with increasing plowing speed. This effect is due to the generation of high pore-water pressures in front of the hemispheres at fast plowing speeds (e.g. 380 m y−1), which weakens till and reduces resistive forces. These results indicate that increases in glacier sliding speed will reduce resistive forces exerted by till on plowing clasts, which will promote decoupling of the ice from the bed and inhibit pervasive bed deformation. In addition, this positive pore-pressure feedback may constitute a flow instability that promotes fast glacier flow. The ring-shear device was also used to develop criteria at microscopic scales for identifying highly sheared tills. Results of experiments indicate that the alignment (fabric) of elongate, sand-sized particles becomes strong at high strains. Furthermore, microshears become more abundant and align progressively with the shearing direction as strain increases. Magnetic fabrics calibrated to strain in an ancillary ring-shear study and sand-particle fabrics were used to test the till-deformation model as applied to the Batestown advance of the Lake Michigan Lobe. Results indicate that magnetic and sand-particle fabrics are not sufficiently strong to support the bed-deformation model. Furthermore, consistent changes in fabric direction with depth and fabric patterns around cobbles and small boulders indicate that the till likely sheared only in thin zones near the glacier sole during till accretion to the bed from ice. Bed shearing likely contributed only minimally to sediment transport.
