The Zion Beach-ridge Plain, a mainland-attached system believed to have migrated by >10 km over the past 4.5 kyrs, is partitioned into distinct physiographic zones. Its structural compartmentalization into distinct ridge sets, recognized in LiDAR-based topographic datasets and subsurface reflection geophysical records, reflects a punctuated morphodynamic development that has implications for understanding groundwater-flow patterns, wetland ecology, and coastal morphodynamic evolution. The most recent physiographic boundary within the strand dates to a high-amplitude lake-level rise event (>3 m in magnitude) that coincided with a regional shift in dominant storm-wind direction. The abrupt juxtaposition of young, high-relief dune-ridge terrain against old, low-relief wetland meadow attests to increased rates of littoral sand transport under conditions of heightened wave and current energies. Ongoing work to refine the geochronology of this and similar events is underway and stands to enhance our understanding of late Holocene coastal evolution. Strandplains are studied globally as important coastal paleoclimate archives, yet in the Great Lakes region the emphasis has been on embayed systems. While sheltered environments (e.g., bedrock-confined strandplains) foster high preservation potentials, optimal for paleohydrographic reconstructions from progradational sequences, the complex depositional architectures of strandplain promontories may provide information on open-water processes not contained within the former.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133023002794/pdfft?md5=32e4ae91b9dd68005977fa0b64f4c52a&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133023002794-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, monitoring data indicate that surface water nutrient concentrations have not increased over the past ∼45 years in this large, shallow, mesotrophic lake. Applying paleolimnological methods, we establish baseline environmental conditions and extend the Lake Nipissing water quality data to pre-industrial times. Lake-wide assessment of changes in nutrient status, algal production, and effects of climate warming are provided by examining: 1) modern and pre-industrial sedimentary diatom assemblages from nine locations; 2) temporal trends in sedimentary photosynthetic pigments over ∼200 years from five locations; and 3) detailed sedimentary profiles of diatom and chironomid assemblage composition from Callander Bay, spanning the past ∼200 years. A pronounced shift in diatom assemblage composition was registered at all sites with pre-industrial sediments dominated by <em>Aulacoseira</em> spp. and modern samples dominated by <em>Discostella stelligera</em>. The detailed diatom analysis for Callander Bay indicated that this shift occurred ca. 1990. Since ca. 1975, cyanobacterial production (spectrally inferred from sediments) exceeded the ∼200-year mean and matches the observed increase in bloom reports. Twentieth century shifts in chironomid assemblages in Callander Bay from <em>Procladius</em> to <em>Chironomus</em> spp. dominance indicate lower hypolimnetic oxygen in recent decades. Collectively, these changes suggest that previously polymictic Lake Nipissing is now experiencing periods of thermal stratification and development of transient anoxia in bottom waters. These conditions are more prevalent and widespread in modern Lake Nipissing, consistent with a response to recent warming, decreased wind speed, and a longer ice-free period.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133023002691/pdfft?md5=654b31c1363bf47092601d6bac100cc8&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133023002691-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, Sum PCB (ΣPCB) concentrations among 7-year-old fish (<em>n</em> = 16) ranged from 159 to 607 ng/g, which compares to growth rates of 3.5 – 32.9 %/yr for these same fish. Multivariate analysis of stable isotope and PCB profiles, however, provided considerable resolution among the strains. For example, fish of unknown hatchery origin ordinated most similar to Seneca Lake fish, the predominant strain stocked in Lake Ontario. Wild fish had a unique ordination with only Lake Superior Klondike strain fish overlapping into their ordination space. Lakes Champlain and Superior strain individuals had similar ordinations but did not overlap substantially with wild or Klondike strain fish.

The objectives of this study were to estimate and document dreissenid densities and their habitat characteristics throughout the St. Clair River, to compare dreissenid species demographics, and predict spatial distributions between two connecting waters of the Great Lakes: the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. Two types of species distribution models (SDMs), MaxEnt and classification and regression tree analysis (CART), were created using dreissenid and habitat data collected in both the Detroit and St. Clair rivers. The SDMs were then used to predict presence of dreissenids in the St. Clair River. The St. Clair River had more <em>D. r. bugensis</em> (mean density = 486 ± 152 individuals/m<sup>2</sup>) than <em>D. polymorpha</em> (mean density = 3 ± 1 individuals/m<sup>2</sup>). The SDMs created from the Detroit River data reliably predicted presence of dreissenids in the St. Clair River. Depending on the river and species, CART models identified velocity and depth to be important predictor variables, while distance to river inlet/outlet were the most influential variables in the MaxEnt models. Most research on dreissenid distribution modeling is focused on determining areas for potential spread; however, this study presents a unique perspective by modeling dreissenid presence, both <em>D. polymorpha</em> and <em>D. r. bugensis</em> separately and together, where they have been established for more than 30 years.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133023002782/pdfft?md5=48ed81f3ae3198847f83e406ee2fec29&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133023002782-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139461489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though the Bayfield Group quartz sandstones were found to be of relatively low tensile strength, the traditional explanation attributing speleogenesis to localized zones of lithological and tectonic weakness does not adequately explain all geomorphic features of the caves. The caves were found to be formed by coalescence of smaller arcade-shaped cavities serially developed along subhorizontal discontinuities. In concordance with the previously formulated “arcade principle”, positions and shapes of the cavities are defined by areas of reduced stress within the gravity-induced stress field. Evacuation of material from the rock massif can be attributed to wave action including the effect of water-pressurized air, and frost action. Compound cavities above the discontinuities tend to form “higher-order” arcade-like cavities/caves while those beneath more resistant strata rather develop into elongated overhangs similar to ordinary coastal notches. Propagation of the largest cavities, formed along steeply dipping joints and faults, is attributed to mass wasting and roof collapses. Similar examples of discontinuity-related cavities in coastal settings, suspectedly also controlled by gravity-induced stress distribution, can be found worldwide, being mostly concentrated to areas covered by ice sheets in the Pleistocene. The interplay between post-glacial isostatic uplift and Holocene lake-level rise is responsible for the development of mature forms of coastal caves in the Apostle Islands where present cliffs are estimated to have been exposed to the effects of wave action for the last 3–5 ky.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133023002447/pdfft?md5=a802e86fc7d47401d2e77a2f86dcefee&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133023002447-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135614728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
