Structural geology measures the geometry of present-day geological formations to determine the history of deformation and understand the stress field that resulted in the observed characteristics.

Viscous relaxation is a plastic deformation process driven by gravity that tends to smooth out geological features by making hills less prominent and valleys less deep.

The elliptical geometry implies that the bays originated as inclined conical cavities, but the dates indicate that the bays could not have formed at the same time and that they formed by gradualistic processes over thousands of years.

The hypothesis that the Carolina Bays were created by the saturation bombardment of pieces of ice ejected by an extraterrestrial impact on a glacier during the Ice Age and the possibility that several impacts could have triggered the Younger Dryas cooling event.

The Carolina Bays do not get the attention that they deserve in geology books. Putting lipstick on the Carolina Bays is not a bad idea for calling attention to these geological features that have been neglected and dismissed as unimportant for a very long time.

This presentation looks at ways of identifying fake news and describes the critical thinking skills of independent thinkers. Global warming is used as an example.

This presentation explains how spelling aid identifies misspelled words and provides correctly spelled candidates from a dictionary that can be used to replace the input word.

Mega-tsunamis produced by extraterrestrial impacts on the ocean create V-shaped dunes called chevrons that may be used to locate the crater of the impact.

Dinosaur Park in Laurel, Maryland serves as an outdoor laboratory where the public can work alongside paleontologists to help uncover the past by finding fossils from the Cretaceous Period.

This presentation analyzes the direction of splash chevrons associated with the Carolina Bays to determine the direction of the wind during the emplacement of the Carolina Bays.
