Description: The Wisconsin Glacial Episode, also called the Wisconsinan glaciation, was the most recent glacial period of the North American ice sheet complex. This advance included the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, which nucleated in the northern North American Cordillera; the Innuitian ice sheet, which extended across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago; the Greenland ice sheet; and the massive Laurentide ice sheet, which covered the high latitudes of central and eastern North America. This advance was synchronous with global glaciation during the last glacial period, including th...

Inside USGS, No. 5, Kenneth Pierce, Pleistocene Glaciations of the Greater Yellowstone Area
Dr. Kenneth Pierce studied the geology and geomorphology of the greater Yellowstone area for nearly his entire career with the U.S. Geological Survey. From 1965 to present, Dr. Pierce has mapped glacial deposits, pioneered Quaternary dating techniques, conducted research on the Yellowstone Hot Spot, studied the geothermal areas, explored the geology of archaeological sites around Yellowstone Lake, and led field trips into the Park. In this video, Dr. Pierce discusses glaciation at Yellowstone, focusing on why glaciations have occurred and differences between the extents of Pinedale and Bull Lake. Dr. Pierce also talks about his work with obsidian hydration rinds and how the study of basal shear stress helped to determine the age of the Bull Lake glaciation and led to special recognition of...

lake missoula, lake columbia and cordilleran ice - google earth/studio project test export, 4k
i'm mapping north american ice sheets and glacial lakes in google earth, by hand. this is a test export render with my overlays. no audio. basic camera pathing, not a lot of pan and tilt, fov adjustments, etc. ie: still very much a work in progress
includes alpine glaciers along montana/idaho borders, bitterroot mountains, and yellowstone glacier at LGM
if you're wondering what time this is supposed to represent, probably somewhere around 15000-13000 years ago, around the time of the last big missoula flood
this is supposed to represent glacial lake columbia and glacial lake missoula at their roughly maximum extents during the pinedale glaciation, as well as the cordilleran ice sheet and various lobes from montana to the pacific
not 100% accurate, points are hand plotted in google eart...

Pleistocene Glacial Geology of Jackson Hole
July 7, 2018 Field Trip led by Ken and Jennifer Pierce
Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
This field trip explores the history of faulting, glaciation, and the passage of the Yellowstone Hotspot in the Jackson Hole area. We examined evidence of glacial processes and faulting at eight stops on this 1 day field trip. We also discussed feedbacks between climate, vegetation, and fire history in the region, and how these factors influence rates of geomorphic change.

Description: The Wisconsin Glacial Episode, also called the Wisconsinan glaciation, was the most recent glacial period of the North American ice sheet complex. This advance included the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, which nucleated in the northern North American Cordillera; the Innuitian ice sheet, which extended across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago; the Greenland ice sheet; and the massive Laurentide ice sheet, which covered the high latitudes of central and eastern North America. This advance was synchronous with global glaciation during the last glacial period, including the North American alpine glacier advance, known as the Pinedale glaciation. The Wisconsin glaciation extended from approximately 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, between the Sangamon interglacial and the current interglacial, the Holocene. The maximum ice extent occurred approximately 25,000–21,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum, also known as the Late Wisconsin in North America. This glaciation radically altered the geography north of the Ohio River. At the height of the Wisconsin Episode glaciation, the ice sheet covered most of Canada, the Upper Midwest, and New England, as well as parts of Idaho, Montana, and Washington. On Kelleys Island in Lake Erie or in New York City's Central Park, the grooves left in rock by these glaciers can be easily observed. In southwestern Saskatchewan and southeastern
Alberta a suture zone between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets formed the Cypress Hills, North America's northernmost point that remained south of the continental ice sheets. During much of the glaciation, sea level was low enough to permit land animals, including humans, to occupy Beringia and move between North America and Siberia. As the glaciers retreated, glacial lakes were breached in great floods of water such as the Kankakee Torrent, which reshaped the landscape south of modern Chicago as far as the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

i'm mapping north american ice sheets and glacial lakes in google earth, by hand. this is a test export render with my overlays. no audio. basic camera pathing, not a lot of pan and tilt, fov adjustments, etc. ie: still very much a work in progress
includes alpine glaciers along montana/idaho borders, bitterroot mountains, and yellowstone glacier at LGM
if you're wondering what time this is supposed to represent, probably somewhere around 15000-13000 years ago, around the time of the last big missoula flood
this is supposed to represent glacial lake columbia and glacial lake missoula at their roughly maximum extents during the pinedale glaciation, as well as the cordilleran ice sheet and various lobes from montana to the pacific
not 100% accurate, points are hand plotted in google earth pro and can be off by quite a lot, and the scale is very big so i can only work on small areas at a time

July 7, 2018 Field Trip led by Ken and Jennifer Pierce
Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
This field trip explores the history of faulting, glaciation, and the passage of the Yellowstone Hotspot in the Jackson Hole area. We examined evidence of glacial processes and faulting at eight stops on this 1 day field trip. We also discussed feedbacks between climate, vegetation, and fire history in the region, and how these factors influence rates of geomorphic change.
Trip Leader: Dr. Ken Pierce, USGS (retired).. Since 1965, Ken Pierce has conducted research on the geologic and environmental history of Yellowstone and surrounding regions. Dr. Pierce’s areas of expertise include the glacial history of the western U.S., new dating methods for Quaternary deposits, geoarchaeology, Quaternary faulting and neotectonics, the Yellowstone hotspot and associated volcanism.
Co-leader: Dr. Jen Pierce, Boise State University. Dr. Jen Pierce is an Associate Professor at Boise State in the Department of Geosciences, where she has been since 2005. Her research focuses on wildfires, climate change, and landscape response; she is also committed toimproving climate science education and outreach.
