Long-Term Hydrologic Sustainability of Calcareous Fens Along Glacial Lake Agassiz Beach Ridges, Northwestern Mn
… fens are located in the Glacial Lake Agassiz beach ridge complex in northwestern Minnesota. Each of these fens is located immediately downslope of large sand/gravel beach ridges, where peat aprons have accumulated on the seepage face. This investigation characterizes the hydrology and …

Configuration of the Pleistocene Surface Beneath Cat Island, Mississippi and Implications for Barrier Island Formation and Evolution
… high-grounds of the Pleistocene surface. Beach ridge strandplain sets on Cat Island provide additional evidence supporting the island's formation over a relict depocenter. A new, 4-stage model for Cat Island development and evolution incorporating the influence of pre-existing topographic …

Implications from a geotechnical investigation of liquefaction phenomena associated with seismic events in the Charleston, SC area
… surficial soils were largely formed from ancient beach ridge deposits. The findings showed that soil conditions within these deposits are appropriate for liquefaction. Also, there is clear evidence that soils as old as 230,000 years have liquefied multiple times in the past 10,000 years. Many of …

Time Scales and Processes of Shoreline Formation in Pluvial Lakes of the Great Basin, Western USA
This study examines historical beach deposits formed in Walker Lake, Winnemucca Lake, and Lake Tahoe to characterize the processes that lead to the construction of beach ridges along lacustrine shorelines and compares the volume of individual shoreline features to the lengths of time under which …

Seasonal Resource Selection, Site-Specific Brood Predictors, And Nest Characteristics Of Greater Prairie-Chicken Hens In Northwestern Minnesota
… patterns and habitat fragmentation. The Agassiz Beach Ridge region of northwestern Minnesota harbors one of the only sustained to increasing populations of prairie-chickens in the country due to the conversion of marginal agricultural lands to grasslands and through conservation entities securing …
