  • Physical Limnology of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
    PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON ALFRED M. BEETON U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan STANFORD H. SMITH U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan and FRANK H. HOOPER Institute for Fisheries Research Michigan Department of Conservation Ann Arbor, Michigan GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 1451 GREEN ROAD ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SEPTEMBER, 1967 PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON1 Alfred M. Beeton, 2 Stanford H. Smith, and Frank F. Hooper3 ABSTRACT Water temperature and the distribution of various chemicals measured during surveys from June 7 to October 30, 1956, reflect a highly variable and rapidly changing circulation in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. The circula- tion is influenced strongly by local winds and by the stronger circulation of Lake Huron which frequently causes injections of lake water to the inner extremity of the bay. The circulation patterns determined at six times during 1956 reflect the general characteristics of a marine estuary of the northern hemisphere. The prevailing circulation was counterclockwise; the higher concentrations of solutes from the Saginaw River tended to flow and enter Lake Huron along the south shore; water from Lake Huron entered the northeast section of the bay and had a dominant influence on the water along the north shore of the bay. The concentrations of major ions varied little with depth, but a decrease from the inner bay toward Lake Huron reflected the dilution of Saginaw River water as it moved out of the bay. Concentrations in the outer bay were not much greater than in Lake Huronproper.

  • Lake Huron Scuba Diving
    SOUTHERN LAKE ASSESSMENT SOUTHERN RECREATION PROFILE LAKE Scuba Diving: OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAKE HURON ASSESSMENT FINGER LAKES SCUBA LAKES FINGER The southern Lake Huron coast is a fantastic setting for outdoor exploration. Promoting the region’s natural assets can help build vibrant communities and support local economies. This series of fact sheets profiles different outdoor recreation activities that could appeal to residents and visitors of Michigan’s Thumb. We hope this information will help guide regional planning, business develop- ment and marketing efforts throughout the region. Here we focus on scuba diving – providing details on what is involved in the sport, who participates, and what is unique about diving in Lake Huron. WHY DIVE IN LAKE HURON? With wildlife, shipwrecks, clear water and nearshore dives, the waters of southern Lake Huron create a unique environment for scuba divers. Underwater life abounds, including colorful sunfish and unusual species like the longnose gar. The area offers a large collection of shipwrecks, and is home to two of Michigan’s 12 underwater preserves. Many of the wrecks are in close proximity to each other and are easily accessed by charter or private boat. The fresh water of Lake Huron helps to preserve the wrecks better than saltwater, and the lake’s clear water offers excellent visibility – often up to 50 feet! With many shipwrecks at different depths, the area offers dives for recreational as well as technical divers. How Popular is Scuba Diving? Who Scuba Dives? n Scuba diving in New York’s Great Lakes region stimulated more than $108 In 2010, 2.7 million Americans went scuba A snapshot of U.S.

  • MAPPING and CHARACTERIZING a RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA in CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN by Christopher B. Connallon a THESIS Submitted T
    MAPPING AND CHARACTERIZING A RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA IN CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN By Christopher B. Connallon A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Master of Science 2015 ABSTRACT MAPPING AND CHARACTERIZING A RELICT LACUSTRINE DELTA IN CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN By Christopher B. Connallon This research focuses on, mapping and characterizing the Chippewa River delta - a sandy, relict delta of Glacial Lake Saginaw in central Lower Michigan. The delta was first identified in a GIS, using digital soil data, as the sandy soils of the delta stand in contrast to the loamier soils of the lake plain. I determined the textural properties of the delta sediment from 142 parent material samples at ≈1.5 m depth. The data were analyzed in a GIS to identify textural trends across the delta. Data from 3276 water well logs across the delta, and from 185 sites within two-storied soils on the delta margin, were used to estimate the thickness of delta sands and to refine the delta's boundary. The delta heads near Mount Pleasant, expanding east, onto the Lake Saginaw plain. It is ≈18 km wide and ≈38 km long and comprised almost entirely of sandy sediment. As expected, delta sands generally thin away from the head, where sediments are ≈4-7m thick. In the eastern, lower portion of the delta, sediments are considerably thinner (≈<1-2m). The texturally coarsest parts of the delta are generally coincident with former shorezones. The thick, upper delta portion is generally coincident with the relict shorelines of Lakes Saginaw and Arkona (≈17.1k to ≈ 16k years BP), whereas most of the thin, distal, lower delta is generally associated with Lake Warren (≈15k years BP).

  • Great Lakes Region, USA
    Spatial variation in till texture and clay mineralogy across the Saginaw Lobe terrain, Great Lakes region, USA Department of Geography, Environment and Spatial Sciences, Randall J. Schaetzl, Chris Baish, Jarrod Knauff, Thomas Bilintoh, East Lansing, Michigan, USA Dan Wanyama, Kevin McKeehan, and Michelle Church Abstract STUDY AREA SAMPLE DISTRIBUTION Great Lakes region We present a spatial/mapping approach to the study of the glacial history of the Saginaw lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The Saginaw Lobe flowed into southern Michigan, USA, forming modern-day Saginaw Bay and leaving behind a series of small moraines in down- ice locations. Upon its retreat – and likely also during its advance – a large proglacial lake (Glacial Lake Saginaw) formed in the northeastern margins of the “Saginaw terrain”. The Saginaw lobe advanced to the southwest, out of this lake basin and onto thinly mantled, sandstone and shale bedrock. Although the Late Pleistocene deglacial chronology of this lobe has been generally assumed for decades, few numerical ages exist that could help constrain a better defined timeline. Indeed, as luminescence ages slowly emerge for terrain of the Saginaw Lobe and nearby areas, it seems clear that the lobe retreated from the region considerably earlier than is generally assumed, adding to the potential for large areas of ponded water in proglacial settings, all of which are as yet unmapped. In this project, we sampled tills on uplands across the terrain of the Saginaw Lobe, avoiding outwash plains. In all, we obtained 334 samples of calcareous till, by bucket auger. Sample locations were sited generally uniformly across >20,000 km2.

  • Pere Marquette River System Drains an Area of Approximately 740 Square Miles
    5 I. THE WATERSHED AND STUDY AREA A. General Characteristics 1. The Watershed. Located in portions of Lake, Mason, Newaygo and Oceana counties, the Pere Marquette River system drains an area of approximately 740 square miles. Roughly 53 percent of the watershed is in Lake County. The mainstream starts at the confluence of the Middle Branch and Little South Branch, known as the "Forks" and flows in a westerly direction for approximately 67 miles to its mouth at Pere Marquette Lake, just south of the City of Ludington. 2. The Study Area. The area of study included the entire mainstream from its mouth at Pere Marquette Lake, its four major tributaries, the Baldwin River, Little South Branch, Big South Branch and the Middle Branch, as well as the numerous smaller tributaries which make up the system. B. Physiography and Soils The topography of the watershed is rolling to flat. The eastern portion of the basin is characterized by its hilly nature, with the western portion generally being more broad and flat. Like other watersheds in the area, the effects of glaciation are evident. Rolling, hilly moraines, flat outwash plains, kettle and oxbow lakes, eskers, drumlins, and kames can all be found in the watershed. The majority of the watershed is dry sand plains and rolling sandy hills. These well-drained droughty soils make them generally unsuitable for agriculture, and hence, are in pine - scrub oak forests. Poorly drained muck and peat soils are fairly common along the lower portion of the mainstream and the headwaters of the Big South Branch, some of which serve as agricultural drains.
