Northeastern Cell
60th Annual Reunion
Pliocene-Quaternary Geology of Northern New Jersey
May 31-June 1, 1997
Ledgewood, New Jersey
The New Jersey Geological Survey and Rutgers University are hosting the 1997 Northeastern
FOP Field Conference. The trip examines surficial deposits and landforms in northern New
Jersey that record late Miocene and Pliocene fluvial systems; pre-Illinoian, and late
Wisconsinan glaciation; Wisconsinan and pre Wisconsinan colluviation; periglacial
activity; and the transition from glacial to postglacial fluvial regimes. Field stops will
include the Ogdensburg- Culvers Gap moraine, the Pensauken Formation, late Quaternary
floodplain terraces along the upper Delaware River, and part of the Schooley erosion
surface. In northern New Jersey, glaciated terrain borders on the unglaciated Piedmont and
Coastal Plain and so provides a natural laboratory to evaluate the relative effects of
eustasy, glaciation, and climate change on the passive-margin landscape. Contact: Scott
