Extractions: Madison. For info about the city click here . Our group studies a range of both basic and applied problems in glacial geology, Quaternary geology, engineering geology, and hydrogeology. Prospective graduate students click here for information and updates on graduate opportunies. To the right is a picture of a large oval drumlin located in southeastern Wisconsin. Drumlins are streamlined hills formed beneath glaciers. Check out our site about our 1997 trip to Iceland (more info coming) If you have questions about Quaternary research or graduate studies at the UW please contact us at 608-262-8960. Visit Quaternary Studies at the University of WisconsinMadison for general information about Quaternary Studies in this and other departments on campus. The Department of Geology and Geophysics is located in Weeks Hall (building 142 on the map found at this link). Quick link to Quaternary Lab Link to Glacial Songs The Quaternary Period includes the last 1.8 million years. One of the most significant aspects of this period is the expansion of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets collectively known as the "Ice Age". Evidence from the deep oceans indicate that there have been over two dozen cold (glacials) and warm (interglacial) periods during the last 2.4 million years. The most recent glaciation began about 125,000 years ago and climaxed about 21,000 years ago. At this time, over 30 percent of earth's surface was covered by ice, and sea level was at least 125 meters lower than present.

Extractions: Rocks are all around us. They make up the backbones of hills and mountains and the foundations of plains and valleys. Beneath the soil you walk on and the deep layers of soft mud that cover the ocean basins is a basement of hard rock and minerals.

Extractions: The Danish Lake District Ecomuseum Contacts Search Sitemap The Danish Lake District Ecomuseum PARTICIPANTS IN THE DANISH LAKE DISTRICT ECOMUSEUM CONTACTS THE INTERDISCIPLINARY HISTORIES PRINCIPALS OF PRESENTATION The Danish Lake District Ecomuseum offers fantastic nature as well as an interesting cultural history with some important monuments and relics from many important epochs in the history of Denmark. People have been attracted to this region ever since the end of the Glacial period due to the opportunities that the land, woods and fresh water have provided. The Danish Lake District Ecomuseum aims to strengthen and improve the presentation of the region's culture and nature in order to provide the local people and the many guests to the area with the best possible experiences and possibilities. The area covered by the Danish Lake District Ecomuseum is approximately the area covered by the County of Skanderborg that existed up to 1970. It is an area of 1,719 square kilometres. The County of Skanderborg was also called "The Monastery County" because at its foundation, it was based on the properties of the Monasteries founded in the Middle Ages in the Lake District of Central Jutland.

Honest Intellectual Inquiry: Science Sites Includes categorized links to general science, anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, biology, genetics, evolution, chemistry, physics, climatology, computers, ecology, geology, mathematics, medicine, and paleontology. http://www.azstarnet.com/~depriest/sci.htm
Extractions: If it hadn't been for my abysmal lack of ability in math, I probably would've become a scientist instead of a Romantic Lit major. As to what kind of science, I never had the opportunity to discover my alter milieu - I love several fields of hard science and several of (what are considered by some) the "softer" sciences. I have now broken these links down by category. Because of the inter-disciplinary nature of so much in the sciences these days, I thought it better to list some links in more than just one category. If you think any other link(s) belong in a different category, or definitely should be in more than one, please send me e-mail. I'd also like to know if you are aware of other good Science links I have missed. Thank you.
