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

Paperback. Etat : 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.
