  • Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota During Termination I
    Behavior of the James Lobe, South Dakota during Termination I A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Geology of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Stephanie L. Heath MSc., University of Maine BSc., University of Maine July 18, 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas V. Lowell Dr. Aaron Diefendorf Dr. Aaron Putnam Dr. Dylan Ward i ABSTRACT The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest ice sheet of the last glacial period that terminated in an extensive terrestrial margin. This dissertation aims to assess the possible linkages between the behavior of the southern Laurentide margin and sea surface temperature in the adjacent North Atlantic Ocean. Toward this end, a new chronology for the westernmost lobe of the Southern Laurentide is developed and compared to the existing paradigm of southern Laurentide behavior during the last glacial period. Heath et al., (2018) address the question of whether the terrestrial lobes of the southern Laurentide Ice Sheet margin advanced during periods of decreased sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic. This study establishes the pattern of asynchronous behavior between eastern and western sectors of the southern Laurentide margin and identifies a chronologic gap in the western sector. This is the first comprehensive review of the southern Laurentide margin since Denton and Hughes (1981) and Mickelson and Colgan (2003). The results of Heath et al., (2018) also revealed the lack of chronologic data from the Lobe, South Dakota, the westernmost lobe of the southern Laurentide margin.

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe-camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.
