Synopsis
In this edition, The Geology of Long Island reveals how glaciers carved Long Island and shaped its shores.
This volume surveys rock layers, drift, and the paths of ice that built the island’s coast. It explains how surface ridges and folds align with glacial movement and why some formations challenge older ice-free theories. The text also traces how later water action and erosion changed rivers, bays, and beaches, creating the landscapes you can still study today. Rich observations from field sections support a clear, evidence-based view of Long Island’s deep past.
- Learn how glacial forces produced parallel ridges, folds, and uplift on Gardiner’s Island and along the north shore.
- Discover the key deposits and materials used in local industry, from fine pottery clay to brick clays, fire-sand, and brick-yards.
- See how field sections and plate descriptions illuminate the history of moraines, laminated sands, and kaolin beds.
- Explore the practical, historical geology of places like Huntington, Glen Cove, Greenport, and Gardiner’s Island, with notes on local springs and shorelines.
Ideal for readers who enjoy geology, field study, and the natural history of Long Island, including its economic resources and coastal evolution.
