Geology of Rhode Island - Wikipedia
Rhode Island was glaciated in the past 2.5 million years of the Quaternary, in the Pleistocene period. The region was glaciated twice between 75,000 and 55,000 years ago. Glaciers encountered a freshwater lake in the Narragansett Bay area. The ice carved through younger sediments exposing more ancient rock.

Abstract: QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC MAPPING IN RHODE ISLAND: …
Rhode island is uniquely situated at the southeastern margin of the Late Quaternary Laurentide Ice Sheet with a rich Late Wisconsinan record of glaciation and deglaciation. To better understand this record, Quaternary geologic mapping in Rhode Island, in cooperation with the StateMap program, is proceeding at two scales: high-resolution 1: ...
Simon Engelhart, State Geologist of Rhode Island
2018年5月14日 · Simon Engelhart has been named State Geologist of Rhode Island. Among his many contributions, Simon has done research on relative sea-level changes from Last Glacial Maximum to present, glacial isostatic adjustment modeling, coastal paleoseismology and paleogeodesy, as well as paleoenvironmental reconstruction using micropaleontology.
