(Dick) Powell. To commemorate that anniversary, the Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) is releasing a digital version of this book. This release also coincides with the UNESCO-sponsored International Year of Caves and Karst. This paper includes a link to the digital book, a memoir from Dick, and a preface from Art Palmer (a mentor of mine and mentee of Dick’s). Another version of Dick’s memoir was recently printed in Volume 23, no. 2 of the Bloomington Indiana Grotto Newsletter.\u0000Caves of Indiana has an interesting legacy in the IGWS and a lore among cavers in Indiana.\u0000This paper tells that legacy from Dick Powell’s point of view.\u0000For many, Caves of Indiana represents a masterpiece of information during the birth of American Speleology. For others, it is an archetype of publications that have damaged caves and relationships between cavers and landowners. Regardless, it is highly recognized for its data gathering and presentation. Many libraries refuse to carry a copy lest it be stolen.[1] Copies oft appear in personal libraries, sometimes with folded pages and broken spines.\u0000This version has been carefully revised and redacted to assure that the locations of, directions to, and maps of caves on private land are not available. In this, we attempt to balance the important, and often at odds, need to disseminate accurate information on caves while protecting this important, and frequently overlooked, fragile natural resource. For more information about caves and karst, and guides to responsible caving, please consult with the National Speleological Society (http://www.caves.org), the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (http://www.nckri.org), or caving clubs local to your area.","PeriodicalId":270102,"journal":{"name":"Indiana Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130191773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But should it be a cause for concern?Crystal Clear? Arsenic in Indiana’s Drinking Water explores this question, and the answermay be surprising. This short documentary explains the origins of arsenic in our drinkingwater supply and consults experts to identify its impact. Students enrolled in the class WaterQuality Indiana at Ball State University began producing the documentary in January 2019.All the students involved had backgrounds in science, but none had prior media-productionexperience. Expert interviews included in the documentary included Mark Elliot, from theHoosier Microbiological Lab; Jessi Haeft, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Ball State University’sDepartment of Environment, Geology, and Natural Resources; and Bradley Hayes, M.D.,a doctor affiliated with Indiana University Health’s Ball Memorial Hospital. Key takeawaysfrom the students’ aggregate reflections include: (1) their general underestimation of the timeand effort that goes into documentary production; (2) their acknowledgment of arsenic as anaturally occurring toxin, but one that is not currently of paramount concern in regards toIndiana’s drinking water supply; and (3) the noticeable increase in their own media literacyas a result of this experience, which may have longer-term implications for these aspiringscience professionals.","PeriodicalId":270102,"journal":{"name":"Indiana Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131689987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although elevation and age data exist for the Port Huron/Sarnia and Sault outlets of Lake Huron and Lake Superior, respectively, no paleohydrograph has been created for southern Lake Michigan near the Chicago outlet. The Wentworth Woods area of the Cook County Forest Preserve, Illinois, contains more than 30 beach ridges that formed during the rise and fall from the peak elevation of the Nipissing phase. These relict shorelines were vibracored to recover basal foreshore sediments that can be used as a proxy for lake-level elevation at the time of individual shoreline formation. In addition, sand samples from soil pits and vibracores were collected for optically stimulated luminescence age determinations. This report addresses the sedimentological data used to determine the elevation of the conjoined upper Great Lakes (Lake Nipissing) when each beach ridge formed. The age data will be presented in future reports.","PeriodicalId":270102,"journal":{"name":"Indiana Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128075421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Till of Wisconsin Episode age (Trafalgar Formation) dominates the surficial geology of thequadrangle. Areas of Wisconsin Episode outwash (Atherton Formation) are found in the Sugar Creek, Youngs Creek, andHurricane Creek valleys and within former meltwater pathways not occupied by modern streams. Kame deposits (sand andgravel) are found in the northern half of the quadrangle and are part of a larger kame complex present in central JohnsonCounty. Holocene (post-glacial) alluvium is found in the valleys of Sugar, Youngs, Nineveh, Buckhart, and Ray Creeks andtributaries. Unconsolidated sediment thickness generally increases from southwest to northeast across the quadrangle, fromless than 15 ft along the southwestern margin of the quadrangle to over 200 ft thick in the far northeastern corner of thequadrangle. This transition of bedrock topography represents the buried northern end of the Knobstone Escarpment. Twosignificant bedrock paleovalleys exist in the quadrangle, one in the south-central part of the quadrangle which parallels theburied Knobstone Escarpment and one in the northeast corner of the quadrangle which is part of a large bedrock valleyextending north into Marion County. The Quaternary sediments in the western half of the quadrangle are underlain byMississippian Borden Group siliciclastic rocks. In the eastern half of the quadrangle, the Devonian New Albany Shale andMuscatatuck Group carbonate rocks subcrop under thick Quaternary sediment cover. The Wisconsin Episode maximumlimit is located within one mile south of the southern boundary of the quadrangle. Radiocarbon ages from the adjacentTrafalgar 7.5-minute quadrangle indicate the Laurentide Ice Sheet reached its maximum extent just after 23,700 years ago. Asecond glacial limit, marked by the Crawfordsville Moraine in the adjacent Trafalgar 7.5-minute quadrangle,crosses the southern end of the Franklin 7.5-minute quadrangle, albeit diffuse. The Crawfordsville Moraine represents thelimit of a readvance which occurred 21,700 years ago.
