Potential Work
Chronology of the Kaiashk system channels, the earliest Nipigon phase eastern outlets of Lake Agassiz. This project would involve working with cores from lakes and bogs in eastern Ontario and examining the deglacial landscape in the area.
Chronology and sedimentology of the Au Train Whitefish channel, Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This project would (1) determine when meltwater last drained across the UP and (2) describe gravel megaripples at the south end of the spillway.
Duration and age of the Algonquin phase of Lake Michigan on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This project would involve lake coring to determine when the Algonquin Lake drained off the UP and examine rhythmites to estimate the lakes duration.
Flooding of the Indian River lowlands, northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. This project would determine the chronology of these lowlands in comparison with the Mackinaw channel and possibly aid in constraining the Nipissing transgression of Lake Michigan.
Investigating lake level change in Lake Erie related to the rise to the Nipissing level in Lake Huron.
Investigate the deglacial chronology of the Saginaw Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
Investigate glacial lacustrine sediments at Grand Marais, Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This ~100m stack of glaciolacustrine units is likely associated with the Marquette readvance of ice in Lake Superior, but its relationship to either ice advance or retreat is unknown.
