Modeling of glaciers or glaciation can be done with computer modeling based on terminal and lateral maraines. Certain land features such as kettle lakes and other depositional environments as well. For simple modeling the direction of certain known marker rocks and their orientation can be used. The glacier itself can be thought of as a larger rolling and sliding mass. to model it in terms of a simple visual aid, use 2 to 3 pounds of borax laundry aid and 4 bottles(8oz.) of elmers white glue. Mix all together and place on cardboard model of terrain. During normal room temperatures you will have an advancing glacier. as the model dries you will have a retreating glacier. The terrain model will have to have some elevation relief, such as a valley with one end higher than the other.

Limitations of models?
Models only represent known possibilities for simulations. Models are limited by what a research determines will happen. A model can't demonstrate problems that are unknown.
