It is thought that this event was caused by the final drainage of Lake Agassiz, which had been confined by the glaciers, disrupting the thermohaline circulation of the Atlantic.

The mountainous districts of England, Wales, and Ireland were also considered to constitute centres for the dispersion of glacial debris ; and Agassiz remarked " that great sheets of ice, resembling those now existing in Greenland, once covered all the countries in which unstratified gravel ( boulder drift ) is found ; that this gravel was in general produced by the trituration of the sheets of ice upon the subjacent surface, etc.

Agassiz is remembered today for his theories on ice ages, and for his resistance to Charles Darwin's theories on evolution, which he kept up his entire life.

An ancient glacial lake that formed in the Great Lakes region of North America, Lake Agassiz, is named after him, as are Mount Agassiz in California's Palisades, Mount Agassiz, in the Uinta Mountains, Agassiz Peak in Arizona and in his native Switzerland, the Agassizhorn in the Bernese Alps.

A main-belt asteroid named 2267 Agassiz is also named in association with Louis Agassiz.

According to Agassiz there is one species of humans but many different creations of races.

According to Agassiz the conditions in which particular creatures live “ are the conditions necessary to their maintenance, and what among organized beings is essential to their temporal existence must be at least one of the conditions under which they were created ”.

Other evidence of the glacier and Lake Agassiz is the approximately 140 ' drop in elevation from the eastern portion of the county to the western part, near the Red River.

Fed by receding glaciers and Lake Agassiz 12, 000 years ago, the Glacial River Warren carved today's Minnesota River valley.

The vast lake, Lake Agassiz, covered much of North Dakota, Manitoba and Minnesota during prehistoric times.

Prehistorically, the south end of Lake Traverse was the southern outlet of glacial Lake Agassiz across the Traverse Gap into Glacial River Warren ; that river carved the valley now occupied by the present-day Minnesota River.

Agassiz was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and immigrated to the United States with his father in 1849.

After Agassiz came to the United States he became a prolific writer in what has been later termed the genre of scientific racism.

Agassiz eventually immigrated to the United States and taught at Harvard University in 1846.

The cydippid ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei A. Agassiz, 1860 was named for him ; it was discovered in 1859 by Alexander Agassiz who was working as an engineer on a ship surveying the United States / Canada boundary between Washington State and British Columbia.

After Louis Agassiz came to the United States he became a prolific writer in what has been later termed the genre of scientific racism.

In 1855 he became professor of geology and palaeontology at the polytechnic school of Zürich, but relinquished this office in 1859, and in 1861 again returned to the United States, when be assisted Louis Agassiz in founding the Museum of Comparative Zoology.

Polygenism came into mainstream scientific thought in America in the mid 19th century with the work of several corresponding natural scientists such as Samuel George Morton and Charles Pickering as well as Egyptologist George Gliddon, the surgeon Josiah Clark Nott and more prominently the paleontologist and geologist Louis Agassiz in the United States.
