  • 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.

We are also aware of variations in surname spelling some of which was probably due to our ancestors not being able to read or write and particularly the women folk which was the parent most likely to be at home when the Census Taker came. But these same women folk bore and named the children, so most generally the Census Taker got the names of all the children and very nearly their proper ages. But how about first name changes. This was seldom, if ever, done by legal procedure and was generally by the use of the first name by the individual so named. I'm not referring to those changes which are so self-evident as Mary to Molly, Peter to Pete or Elizabeth to Liza.

Illinois General Assembly Leadership Essays 4 Illinois, as we all know, is a large, dynamic, and diverse state with a rich and complicated history. Regional tensions and fissures have been a common theme during our two Michael J. Madigan, Speaker of the Illinois House of 4 centuries of statehood. Representatives Some experts have identified six distinct regions in Illinois—Chicago, suburban Cook County, John T. Shaw the collar counties, Northern Illinois, Central Illinois, and Southern Illinois—while others Jim Durkin, Illinois House Republican Leader 6 Institute Director have depicted three—Chicago, the collar counties, and the rest of the state. Other analysts see the division in Illinois as a simple and stark split between urban and rural. Don Harmon, Illinois Senate President 8 Our hope is that this summit helps us forge a creative and positive agenda for One Illinois. As we attempt to do so, we should consider fundamental issues and hard questions: One Illinois: Noble Aspiration or Impossible Dream? 12 Roger Biles • What specifically can be done to forge a common identity and a sense of shared destiny in Illinois? • Is it necessary or misguided to think of One Illinois?

  • Chapter 2: Existing Conditions
    CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS INTRODUCTION In understanding the intent of the Aux Sable Watershed Plan and the recommendations, it is important to note the resources within the Watershed. This chapter outlines many of the known resources and conditions from various sources. CLIMATIC AND HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS Climate The climate of Northern Illinois can be described as temperate with cold winters and warm, humid summers. Lake Michigan has minimal effect on the climate of the Watershed, causing the occasional band of lake effect snowfall. The region is highly influenced by southward surges of polar air and northward surges of tropical air. These surges produce fluctuations in the seasonal temperatures, as well as daily temperatures. Winters are dominated by frequent storms called Alberta Clippers which travel from west to east along the Canadian border causing brief, light snowfall events with frigid temperatures behind them. Storms traveling from southwest to northeast are called Colorado Lows, and typically produce heavy snowfalls due to their warmer temperatures and higher amounts of moisture. These Figure 5 - Monthly Temperatures Recorded at Morris, IL (Midwest Regional Climate Center) Wills Burke Kelsey Associates, Ltd. Page | 14 06-993 Aux Sable Creek Watershed Plan Update storms are known to traverse the area on a much less frequent basis. Prevailing winds are generally out of the west, but can vary depending on the current state of the atmosphere. In the winter, winds are typically out of the northwest after Alberta Clippers have passed. The summer winds are typically out of the southwest providing warm moist air. The average temperatures recorded at the Morris weather station are shown in Figure 5.
