Uncover the buried chapter of Lake Michigan’s past.
This study maps the southern basin with high-resolution seismic profiles and sediment cores to reveal how Pleistocene formations took shape beneath the lake floor. This edition compiles data from multiple cruises, detailing how the bedrock surface and glacial layers interact with water-saturated sediments. It explains how different formations are identified on profiles and in cores, and how thickness and composition are interpreted to reconstruct past environments.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed overview of the geology of southern Lake Michigan, an enormous freshwater body containing the largest volume of water in North America by volume. The author presents a detailed analysis of the lake's geological composition, concentrating on the Pleistocene and modern-day sediments that make up its composition. The author has taken a data-driven approach, using seismic profiles and sediment cores to construct a comprehensive geological map of the region, including the thickness of the Lake Michigan Formation, and the distribution of glacial till and bedrock in the area. The data and methodologies presented and discussed in this book will be of interest to readers interested in sedimentology and Great Lakes geology, and it will contribute to a deeper understanding of the geological history of the southern Lake Michigan basin.
