Comparing Paleohydrograph Reconstructions from Subsurface Stratigraphy and Topography at the Sault Ste. Marie Strandplain
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-01)The Great Lakes are currently at high water levels, which are negatively impacting coastal infrastructure, coastal ecosystems, and stakeholders that rely on the lakes. To better understand natural fluctuations, which ... -
Natural Late Holocene lake level fluctuations recorded in the Ipperwash strandplain, southern Lake Huron
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-25)The Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL) are the largest system of surface freshwater on Earth. Three factors, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), outlet conveyance, and climate processes contribute to natural rises and falls in ... -
A simple and complex physical model of the Laurentian Great Lakes used to engage students and community members
(The Geological Society of America North-Central Section, 2015-05-19)The Laurentian Great Lakes, Earth’s most-easily recognized feature from space, is of a size, complexity, and significance that can be difficult to comprehend. To address this we have developed corresponding simple and ... -
Stable isotope mass balance of the North American Laurentian Great Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-29)This thesis describes a method for calculating lake evaporation as a proportion of water inputs (E/I) for large surface water bodies, using stable isotope ratios of oxygen (18O/16O) and hydrogen (2H/1H) in water. Evaporation ...
