“…The study area, in the eastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, was last deglaciated between ∼ 15,500 and 11,500 cal y BP (Drexler et al, 1983;Farrand and Drexler, 1985;Blewett et al, 1993;Lowell et al, 1999). With one exception (Blewett and Rieck, 1987), the glacial history of this region has been minimally studied.…”
