An extensive program of soil sampling and weathering index studies was carried out on the moraine complex of the small, alpine, Meserve Glacier to determine if age differences among the 3 major moraines would become apparent in the morphology, chemistry or clay mineralogy of their soil profiles, permafrost depths or surface weathering characteristics. Based upon morphologic and pedologic evidence, the outer=most of the 3 groups of moraines appears much older than either of the other two.
