Dr. Brenda Hall

Professor of Glacial and Quaternary Geology in the Climate Change Institute and School of Earth and Climate Sciences at the University of Maine

Have you ever wondered how glaciers shaped the Maine landscape? Evidence of the past ice sheets is everywhere around us, and the glacial landforms and sediments affect our use of the landscape, as well as its natural beauty. Join University of Maine professor Dr. Brenda Hall on Monday, October 16 either in person or virtually to learn more about the last ice age and how the glaciers reshaped the Maine landscape. The presentation also will include a discussion of Maine’s Ice Age Trail, a self-guiding auto-trail where one can view and learn about glacial features.

Dr. Brenda Hall is a Professor of Glacial and Quaternary Geology in the Climate Change Institute and School of Earth and Climate Sciences at the University of Maine and studies past glaciers and climate change from Greenland to Antarctica.
