*Work in British Columbia was completed on the traditional territories of the Esk'etemc First Nation.
Murtooized Terrain
Murtoozied terrain consists of distinct, steep slopes that present in a variety of patterns including: zig-zag formations, sub-parallel washboard-like, chaotic and bumpy, to isolated mounds. See Sodeman and Brennand (2025) for a detailed study on the morphology and sedimentology of features within murtooized terrain.

Meltwater Corridors
Subglacial meltwater corridors on the southern Fraser Plateau consist of broad, shallow channels with distinct erosional boundaries containing a variety of intra-corridor landforms including eskers, erosional remnants, and curvilinear ridges. Manuscript currently in prep.

Parallel Tunnel Channels
Parallel tunnel channels are distinct paired, discontinuous depressions separated by a continuous central ridge that appear to form a continuous feature, extending upwards of 50 km and cross-cutting recessional moraines. See Sodeman et al. (2021) for a detailed study of the morphology and stratigraphy of parallel tunnel channels associated with the Huron-Erie Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
