| Geology of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail The Ice Age National Scenic Trail meanders across the state of Wisconsin through scenic glacial terrain dotted with lakes, steep hills, and long, narrow ridges. David M. Mickelson, Louis J. Maher Jr., and Susan L. Simpson bring this landscape to life and help readers understand what Ice Age Wisconsin was like. An overview of Wisconsin's geology and key geological concepts helps readers understand geological processes, materials, and landforms. The authors detail geological features along each segment of the Ice Age Trail and at each of the nine National Ice Age Scientific Reserve sites. David M. Mickelson and Louis J. Maher Jr. are both professors emeriti and senior scientists in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Susan L. Simpson is a writer and editor who has worked for the National Park Service and other conservation organizations. |
