Investigating Glaciation with U.S.G.S. Resources.(United States Geological Survey)

The U.S. Geological Survey, the nation's largest science agency, provides excellent resources for studying and teaching about glaciation. Resources include maps, books, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and digital data. The processes and evidence of continental glaciation relating to the last advance of ice sheets from the north and to present-day alpine glaciation can be effectively researched and taught using these resources.
