STUDY GLACIAL
BOULDER FORMS

ARE CONDUCTING INVESTIGA
IN VARIOUS ALASKA
DISTRICTS
Results of a close study of gla
cial moraines and of glacial bould
ers carried by' ice-carrying sub
Actic streams may prove to be the
solution of how glacial boulders
were deposited in gravel beds
scattered from Virginia to North
Carolina, northern Alabama and;
northern Mississippi, the Juneau!
Chamber of Commerce was told
by Chester K. Wentworth, Assoc
iate Professor of Geology of Wash
ington University, St. Louis, re
ports the Empire.
Prof. Wentworth and L. L. Ray,
teaching assistant in the same in
stitution, are conducting investiga
tions which will require work in
Juneau and at Skagway for sev
eral weeks; a similar time on the
upper Yukon River between White
horse and Circle; and additional
time in Prince William Sound gla
cial areas.
History of Research
Some 10 years ago, Prof. Went
worth said, a study in the terraced
gravels in Maryland, considerably
south of the known reach of the
Pleistocene ice fields, revealed the
presence of glacial boulders. It
DAN CUPID ARRIVED
It is whispered that Dan Cupid
arrived on the SS Yukon last
evening from the South with a
couple of comely girls who are to
be wed today to local young
fellows, or darn soon. One ear is

was at first thought these had
been carried into the district by
the action of tidal waters, move
ments of large bergs, etc.
Later work in areas of Virginia,
Tennessee and North Carolina, nor
thern Alabama and Mississippi, re
vealed similar boulders beyond the
reach of tidal influence. It was
then concluded that the boulders
had been carried by rivers where
ice floes were running.
Seeks To Prove Difference
Prof. Wentworth and Mr. Ray
seek to determine if there is any
discoverable difference b e tween
boulders deposited by glacial re
cession and those carried by sub
Arctic streams when they are car
rying ice. Superficially, he said,
there doesn’t seem to be any dif

ference. However, the two scien
tists are taking exact measure
ments, noting the effects of the
grinding of glacial masses and
looking for other data.
Apply To States
If it is found that there is a
difference in the composition of
the two classes of boulders, the
criteria will be applied to the
i areas in the States where the ori
ginal problem arose and where it
may be encountered in the future.
Even if there should be no dif
; ference, Prof Wentworth said, the
trip would not be without profit
since it wiil afford an opportuni
ty to observe at first hand glacial
action and that of sub-Arctic
streams.
