We integrate methods of glacial geology, climatology, hydrology, and biogeochemistry. [12] [13] Specializing in tropical mountain regions, we study sites along the entire American Cordillera, in Africa, and in Central Ohio. Glaciers impact environments and societies on different scales, from valleys to mountain ranges, spanning far into Earth ...
The Allegheny Plateau (/ ˌ æ l ɪ ˈ ɡ eɪ n i / AL-ig-AY-nee) is a large dissected plateau area of the Appalachian Mountains in western and central New York, northern and western Pennsylvania, northern and western West Virginia, and eastern Ohio.

The region has gently rolling moraine hills left over from the retreating glaciers, as well as small sandy ridges, which were formed as coastal dunes during periods in which Lake Erie was higher than it is today (14,000-12,000 years ago). [1]
Using National Elevation Datasets (NEDs) from the USGS, the author incorporated the 275-meter (902-foot) contour elevations into a GIS, spatially correlated the contours with Ohio Department of Natural Resources' GIS glacial, geologic, and topographic datasets, and developed a revised lake boundary that shows the areal extent of Proglacial Lake ...
Lake Monongahela was a proglacial lake in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.It formed during the Pre-Illinoian ice epoch when the retreat of the ice sheet northwards blocked the drainage of these valleys to the north.
In its advance to the Union City Moraine, the glacier crossed terrain free of ice except for a few scattered blocks northwest of Alexandria, but from Alexandria to eastern Delaware County it probably overrode thin debris-charged stagnant ice. Gravel-filled channels in the dead ice mass were not destroyed by the overriding glacier, but a veneer ...
