SUMMARY:Benzonia Academy Lecture Series: “Reading the Glacial Record: How Three Generations of Scientists Revealed Michigan’s Ice Age”
DESCRIPTION:"Reading the Glacial Record: How Three Generations of Scientists Revealed Michigan's Ice Age"\n\nPresented by: Steve Veatch\n\nNovember 12\, 2026\, 4 pm\n\nMills Community House & ZOOM\n\nBeneath Michigan's forests\, farms\, and shorelines lies a story written in ice.  This lecture explores how geologists learned to interpret this hidden record over three transformative generations.  Participants will follow the evolution of discovery: from the rugged\, horseback expeditions of Frank Leverett and Frank B. Taylor in the early 1900s\, to Helen M. Martin's influential mid-century mapping\, and finally to William Farrand's modern integration of Michigan's glacial past.  Along the way\, we trace the shift from hand-drawn sketches to the sophisticated digital tools environmental scientists use today.\n\n**Please note a change in the start time to 4 pm.**\n\nPresenter: Steve Veatch\n\nOriginally from Colorado\, Steve Veatch and his wife moved to Michigan\, where he continues to enjoy the outdoors\, research\, and write about history.
