Fracture formation
The purpose of this site is to provide information on FRACTURES occurring in glacial till, lacustrine deposits, and overlying soils. The links found in the left frame will take you to several State of Ohio government agencies that have content dealing with Ohio's glaciation and soil properties. There are also links to the Iowa State Soils Database and "MUIR" (Map Unit Interpretation Database) database.The Ohio Fracture Flow Work Group is currently writing a series of papers to be published by the Ohio Journal of Science under the auspices of The Ohio Academy of Science (http://www.ohiosci.org/ojs.htm).
