Iowan Drift

“The Iowan Drift” offers a detailed examination of the geological features and evidence related to the Iowan Stage of Glaciation. Authored by William Clinton Alden, this work represents a cooperative study conducted for the U.S. Geological Survey and the Iowa Geological Survey, providing a comprehensive review of the glacial landscape in Iowa and its surrounding regions.

This book delves into the characteristics of the Iowan drift, analyzing the deposits, landforms, and other geological indicators that define this glacial period. It presents valuable insights into the geological history of the American Midwest, contributing to a deeper understanding of the processes that shaped the region's topography. With meticulous research and detailed observations, “The Iowan Drift” remains a significant resource for geologists, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the glacial history of North America.
