William G. Tight

William G. Tight (1865–1910) was an American geomorphologist who became the third president of the University of New Mexico.

Tight was one of the first to decipher the glacial drainage histories of the Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia area, specifically the long gone Teays River system and Glacial Lake Tight (which takes his name). These discoveries were documented and celebrated in publications and newspaper articles of the time.
