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

Inhaltsangabe

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.

• Discover how researchers used seismic data and cores to map sediment distribution across the southern basin.
• Learn about the Lake Michigan Formation and its lacustrine clay deposits, along with the supporting glacial formations.
• See how bedrock topography, till thickness, and acoustic reflectors help piece together the lake’s history.
• Understand the methods behind cross sections that visualize three-dimensional stratigraphy from north to south.
