  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

  • Task 3 Neil Fulton
    REPORT ON POTENTIAL MEASURES TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEMS CREATED BY CtIFWNT HIGH LAKE LEVELS TASK 3 DIVERSIONS MANAGEMENT ,.l -. TO THE INTERNATIONAL JOINT CCXMISSICPJ FROM TASK GROUP MEMBERS GERALD MACMILLXY DON LEONARD RM; GOLDING BILL DALEY MAC ODELL BILL ERDLE PETER YEE . NEIL FULTON SEPTEMBER 1987 EXExmTIVE SUMMARY The Governments of Canada and the United States requested, in August 1986, that the International Joint 'Commission study methods of alleviating the adverse consequences of fluctuating Great Lakes water levels. Part of this study entailed an immediate short-term investigation of methods of alleviating the present high water level crisis. One of the elements of the short-term investigation was a study of diversions management and the results are contained herein. The theoretical maximum flow through the Welland Canal in an extreme crisis situation was estimated to be 12,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The most significant physical impacts of this maximum flow would be the complete disruption of navigation between Lake Ontario and the upper lakes and the possibility of major damage to the canal itself. A reduction in Lake Erie levels of 1.3 inches would be achieved. The Ogoki and Long Lac Diversions can be closed completely but, because of significant social impacts associated with the closure of the Long Lac Diversion, a.scenario involving a combined annual diversion flow of 800 cfs was investigated to determine the benefits foregone by maintaining the log-driving operation from Long Lake. The most significant physical impacts were the direct loss of 2,500 jobs in the Terrace Bay - Longlac area resulting from the closure of the Kimberly-Clark pulp mill in Terrace Bay due to complete closure of Long Lac Diversion, and the reduction in livelihood and alteration in way of life for local populations associated with the closure of both diversions.

  • Sierra Club Ontario: Niagara Report by Dr
    Sierra Club Ontario: Niagara Report By Dr. John Bacher (PhD) 1. Unlike the rest of Ontario, Niagara is not threatened by Government proposing removals from the Greenbelt Among the regions of Ontario’s Greenbelt, Niagara is distinctive insofar that there aren’t any proposals to remove lands from it. This arises out of the fact that the provincial government, without officially saying so, has in effect reaffirmed the provision of the Greenbelt Plan that sees the protection of specialty crop lands as “permanent.” (the same decision was made for the much smaller area of tender fruit growing in the City of Hamilton). Outside of Niagara, the Niagara Escarpment, and the tiny fruit growing areas of Hamilton, the entire Greenbelt is at risk, with the exception of large, provincially significant forests and other restrictive environmental features such as river valleys and floodplains. In such a situation, farmlands are vulnerable to being paved over. This is because urban boundaries in all other areas, including the Oak Ridges Moraine, will become subject to urban boundary expansions every five years through municipal comprehensive reviews. This has the danger to create a “Swiss Cheese Greenbelt”, the risk of which may be increased through changes in government infrastructure policy. In addition to standing firm against Greenbelt removals in Niagara, the government has put forward two significant proposals for expansions, one of which is in the St. Catharines-Thorold area. This proposed expansion would protect the Twelve Mile Creek valley in urban St. Catharines and an important natural corridor between the Short Hills Provincial Park and Lake Gibson.
