Abstract

A study of what has been written about the geomorphology of Iowa since the publication of the Kay volume, The Pleistocene of Iowa, in 1943, resulted in the compilation of an annotated bibliography. An examination of the subject material and procedures described suggests: studies since 1943 are process oriented rather than time oriented; increased use of paleosols and buried erosion surfaces; introduction of radiocarbon dating; and a lack of discussion about a framework for geomorphology.
