Byron Stone is a Research Geologist in the Florence Bascom Geoscience Center, Reston, VA. Since joining the USGS as an NAGT field assistant in 1969, and as a fulltime geologist in 1974, he has devoted his career to studying Quaternary glacial geology and late Cenozoic clastic basins, and he specializes in glacial sedimentology and three-dimensional stratigraphic analyses. He has contributed to geologic mapping projects in eight states, Morocco, and Cyprus. Presently, his research focuses on the multiple glacial stratigraphic framework of the southern Great Lakes region and the southern glacial terminus region of northeastern U.S.

Task 2 - Geologic Mapping of the Great Lakes States
The area encompassed by Task 2 comprises the states that border the Great Lakes, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. The primary objective of Task 2 is to develop and improved understanding of the Quaternary geology of the Great Lakes region. This work involves a combination of both regional-scale studies and detailed (“cornerstone”)...
Task 3 - Geologic Mapping of the (other) Non-Coalition Glaciated States
The area encompassed by Task 3 comprises the non-coalition (other) states within the glaciated region, including Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and New Jersey. The primary objective of Task 3 is to continue the compilation of existing and create new 1:500,000-scale Quaternary geologic maps for the region, and to conduct new 1:24,000-scale mapping in areas of...
Task 1 - Quaternary Geologic Mapping of the New England States
The area encompassed by Task 1 comprises the states in the New England region, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The primary objective of Task 1 is to continue the compilation of existing and create new 1:500,000-scale Quaternary geologic maps for the region, and to conduct new 1:24,000-scale mapping in areas of greatest need. This work is done...
Task 2-Quaternary Geologic Mapping and Subsurface Correlation
The area encompassed by Task 2 includes various regions on the margins of the Great Lakes, with initial focus on: (1) several counties along the east margin of Lake Michigan (Leelanau, Benzie, Manistee, and Mason Counties of Michigan); and (2) Berrien County of southwestern Michigan. The primary objective of Task 2 is to produce a seamless, zoomable geologic framework map geodatabase in GeMS...
