What: Revising the Middle to Late Glacial History of Central & Western NY
Click Here for More Information and to Register
This presentation will concentrate on the most recent field evidence that establishes the details concerning middle Wisconsin (39,000 years BP) through late Wisconsin (13,000 years BP; Younger Dryas cooling event) glacial advances from the Cayuga basin in the east through the Genesee Valley and further into the Cattaraugus basin of western NY. These data will require a significant revision of peer reviewed publications on this subject and should be of interest to engineering geologists concerned with the correct glacial stratigraphy associated with projects throughout this area.
