Join Dr Shuo Sun, PhD, and the OGSR Library team as we explore features left behind in London, ON from the end of the Wisconsin Glaciation 10,000 - 15,000 years ago.
Glacial processes shaped the Thames River watershed’s current physiography during the Wisconsin glacier, leaving behind ridges, glacial till and kettle ponds. Material, in the form of stones, gravel, sand and clay, were deposited as the glacier retreated. The accumulation of these materials created moraines.
Three major moraines surround London, the Arva moraine in the north, and the Ingersoll and Westminster moraines running through the southern portion of the city. This guided tour presents an exciting opportunity to learn about the geology and geomorphology of London!
