It is a scientist’s mission to try to remain unbiased. However, certain factors play a role in scientific analyses that are not controlled by conscious thought. These factors are potentially very important in areas of science where interpretations are based on a scientist’s ability to identify patterns or structures. One such area is the micromorphology of glacial sediments. In this paper we in...

Many distinct glacial episodes in the past ~1 million years Central Lowlands of North America left behind a patchwork glaciated landscapes different ages and formed through glacial, paraglacial, proglacial processes. Herein, we synthesize reconcile diverse data sources across nine states to create generalized landform regions map, incorporating information from surficial geology, age-constraine...

Subglacial overdeepenings are common elements of mountain forelands and have considerable implications for human infrastructure. Yet, the processes overdeepening by subglacial erosion especially role bedrock geology poorly understood. We present a case study Gebenstorf-Stilli Trough in northern Switzerland, foreland with regionally unique, complex underlying geology: contrast to other Swiss ove...

This paper summarizes the history of the Ohio Fracture Flow Working Group (OFFWG), describes their activities since the publication of the first special issue of The Ohio Journal of Science in 2000, and references selected recent publications by Ohio researchers, other researchers in the United States, and research efforts internationally. It also serves as an introduction to and overview of th...
