Glacial Depositional Environments & Stratigraphy - Pt 1: Glacioterrestrial | GEO GIRL

[@Ben-hl5mu]

Wow! I work as a hydrogeologist in Canada and have to deal with glacial sediments a lot. I wasn't able to take glacial geology at university due to scheduling issues. I find it really helpful to be able to understand sedimentary processes because it has a large impact on groundwater flow. These videos are super helpful for my job, you're a great teacher and this really helps me better understand glacial cross sections!

Thank you so much for the comment! This made my day, I am so glad you find my videos helpful! :D

[@oliversolar3504]

this is absolutely amazing. i’m just in awe. i love glaciers

[@sunnyblue7800]

Thank you for your videos! I love the amount of information they cover and the structure is just perfect!!

[@thachthewandererable]

Ur presentations are perfect and so are you! Thanks so much for these!

[@GEOGIRL]

Aww, thanks so much, what a sweet comment! I am so glad you find my videos helpful. If there are any topics I haven't covered that you'd like me to go over, just let me know ;D

[@jwfcp]

~Think of ice as a mineral, glaciers are full of this mineral~, hah! Good presentation.

[@do_gotcha]

It did win the 2019 Mineral Cup! Personally I voted for quartz, but ice is cool too lol.

[@simonbobko9638]

Hi i am Simon form Slovakia, your presentation is so fluent and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@JustinWilsonBGG]

Exactly what I was looking for. Well done! I'll take what I learned into the high country in Montana later this summer.

[@GEOGIRL]

Thank you! I hope you have a great time in Montana, it is so beautiful up there!!

15:32 I saw a lot of this on the South shore of Lake Superior a couple weeks ago. I assumed that's what it was from, but now i know! :) Great video, thanks! :)

[@GEOGIRL]

Oh cool! I have only ever seen pictures but hope to see this stuff in person someday! :D

[@TheCadman069]

@@GEOGIRL It's definitely a great area for Geologists! I found a few "pudding stones" while i was there as well. I learned from Steven Baumann that these are not native to Michigan, they originated ~2MM years ago from Hudson Bay and were transported down here from the glacial flow ( unless I am mis-remembering )? If i wasn't an engineer, i'd love to have studied Geology! =)

[@antediluvial]

Thank you so much for all of your videos. Didn’t expect I’d be a geologist but I love this stuff so much!

[@marisawiens8526]

This is great coverage for my geology course! Thank you so much! Glaciers were always hard for me to grasp as well as all their features and basal sliding- this has helped me. :)

[@GEOGIRL]

Thanks! (don't tell anyone, but glaciers were always the depositional systems that I struggled the most with too!) Making this video helped me get over my glacial obstacle, and I am so glad it helped you as well! :D

[@anshumaanverma3358]

@@GEOGIRL hello mam...I learnt a great deal from this video on glacial depositional environment. Can u plz suggest a book on depositional environment?

[@GEOGIRL]

@@anshumaanverma3358 So glad you found this video helpful! I have listed my references in the description of the video, but my two fav depositional environment books are: Depositional Sedimentary Environments: amzn.to/3ta678l Facies models 4: amzn.to/3ysU6Mf But these are a bit expensive so I found this one (amzn.to/3PPnAMR) which is a bit less and looks like it would be helpful, but I haven't actually read it so I don't know for sure. Hope that helps ;)

Nice session Love from India

[@thatalaskaguy]

Great info, thanks for posting. We recently drilled a municipal well and I was looking at the samples for. The various depths and wanted to better understand what I was looking at. We went down 160’ and in that sample there was a smooth rounded rock that looked like it came out of a river bed. I’m in a heavily glaciated area and wondered if over time the glacier buried that ancient river 160’ down?

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

THIS! You asked recently for activities to have with your grad students. Lots of material in here to maybe create some labs based off this material

[@shambhupuri9598]

Good effort and very Helpful video!

[@GEOGIRL]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the comment :)

[@AubreyBrostedt-nv7jm]

Thank you so much for such a useful video. I have a question regarding one part. When you were going over the formation of a kettle you said it was formed by erosion during glacier movement creating a depression in the ground, and as the glacier retreats it leaves meltwater. However, a couple other resources said that a kettle forms by a part of the glacier falling off and causing a depression in the ground which it then fills up when it melts. I wasn’t sure which one is correct, if you could help me out I would be very thankful.

[@michaeleisenberg7867]

Hi Rachel! This is currently a topical question for you and this seems like the video to ask it. You might recall that I went to Phoenix a few weekends back and outside of Phoenix there are massive "balancing boulders." Massive! But how did they get there? The internet is a little iffy on this. Arizona had glaciers during the Pleistocene but they were in the Mountains at 9000'. I don't think the moraine would have reach that far--from 9000' down to Phoenix. I don't think they popped out of a Volcano and landed in those precarious positions. I think they are too far from the mountains for a massive river to have transported them? Maybe they were formed from erosion and weathering of preexisting uplifts--and did not have to be moved or transplanted at all? They are an impressive site when you're on a road trip. Thank you.

Thanks do you have any videos on facie association ?

[@GEOGIRL]

No, I do not as of yet. Maybe in the future I could make one tho! :)

[@bikeboy656]

You live in Texas....what college did you attend if you don’t mind my asking? I’m considering Jackson school of geosciences.

[@GEOGIRL]

That sounds like a great opportunity! Go for it :D I went to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for undergrad and now I am a PhD student at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). I love both, but I have to say I think UTEP's geo dept is better :)

[@dallasryle7740]

they look good in a picture?..please..i live in texas..ok..

[@malikzebkhan1748]

Mam could you apply sequence stratigraphy on glacier deposits not only stratigraphy

[@malikzebkhan1748]

As you know mam that sequence stratigraphy is advanced than stratigraphy
