The Glacial Geology of the Driftless Area


Listen Later

The Perpetual Notion Machine speaks with geologist Eric Carson about the geological history of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, where the lack of glacial deposits and glacial landforms indicate that this portion of the midwest has apparently never been covered by glaciers (source: Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey publication). Research is still underway to further understand the geological forces that contributed to the unique landscape.
