Abstract Minnesota was affected by Laurentide ice lobes of different provenance. Lake Agassiz drained through Minnesota. Tills in Minnesota are correlated on the basis of their lithologic and mineralogic composition. A number of dating methods along with weathering horizons and truncated paleosols have been used to strengthen correlations in pre-MIS ...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016
Abstract We review the historical purposes and procedures for stratigraphical division and naming within the Quaternary, and summarize the current requirements for formal partitioning through the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS). A raft of new data and evidence has impacted traditional approaches: quasi-continuous records from ocean ...

In the News Focus by R. A. Kerr (“A time war over the period we live in,” 25 January, p. [402][1]), stratigraphers wish to rid the geological time scale of the Quaternary, on the grounds that “boundaries on the time scale are not delineated by climate changes.” How very odd, then, that ...

What status for the Quaternary?
Boreas, 2005The status of the Quaternary, long regarded as a geological period effectively coincident with the main climatic deterioration of the current Ice Age, has recently been questioned as a formal stratigraphic unit. We argue here that it should be retained as a formal period of geological time.

The broad outlines of the Scottish landscape owe their origins to a combination of geological and tectonic controls and geomorphological processes in pre-Quaternary time. However, there are few on-land deposits that predate the Quaternary and the great majority of the relict features in the landscape are erosional and therefore difficult to date ...

Abstract Quaternary geology studies in most of the Arctic Archipelago inevitably have focused on the age and extent of Pleistocene glaciations. In the islands south of Parry Channel (Fig. 19.1), repeated advances of temperate glaciers spreading from continental dispersal centres have eroded and deposited a wide range of landforms. There,
