Hydroclimatic Factors of the Recent Record Drop in Laurentian Great Lakes Water Levels
AUGUST 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he Laurentian Great Lakes (Fig. 1) comprise the United States’ premier surfacewater resource, with a basin area of 770,000 km2 (Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data 1977).

متن کاملPaleoecology of a Northern Michigan Lake and the Relationship amongClimate, Vegetation, and Great Lakes Water Levels
We reconstructed Holocene water-level and vegetation dynamics based on pollen and plant macrofossils from a coastal lake in Upper Michigan. Our primary objective was to test the hypothesis that major fluctuations in Great Lakes water levels resulted in part from climatic changes. We also used our data to provide temporal constraints to the mid-Holocene dry period in Upper Michigan. From 9600 to...
