Architectural element analysis applied to glacial deposits: Internal geometry of a late Pleistocene till sheet, Ontario, Canada

Deposits left by continental ice sheets are characterized by sedimentological complexity and stratigraphic heterogeneity, but stratigraphic descriptions of such deposits, and resulting “first-generation” facies models, are still based primarily on one- or two-dimensional borehole or outcrop data. Reconstruction of depositional environments, hydrogeological investigations of Pleistocene glacial deposits, and hydrocarbon exploration in …
