Geologic Cross Sections Derived From Seismic Profiles and Sediments Cores From Southern Lake Michigan (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore the ancient story of southern Lake Michigan through high‑resolution seismic profiles and sediment cores. This study maps the lake floor and sub‑surface layers to reveal how glacial history shaped the region.

Using data from 1971 cruises and earlier work, the book presents twelve east–west cross sections and one north–south run to show three Pleistocene formations and their members. It ties bedrock topography to glacial erosion and documents how lake sediments vary across the basin.

• See how bedrock, till, and lacustrine sediments create distinct acoustic signals and reflectors.


• Learn how different members of the Lake Michigan Formation and related units are identified in cores and profiles.


• Understand the interpretive cross sections that illustrate sediment distribution and stratigraphy.


• Discover connections between seismic data and actual sediment cores from field cruises.

Ideal for readers interested in geology, glacial history, and Great Lakes science, as well as students needing clear examples of cross‑section interpretation.
