A Multi-Year Analysis From 2014 To 2017 Of Snowfall Types In Marquette, Michigan: A Differentiation Between Synoptic Snow Events And Lake Effect Snow Events Impacted By The Presence Of Lake Superior, Roberto Piemontese
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
The present study analyzes four winter seasons of data from 2014 to 2017 collected from the National Weather Service in Marquette, Michigan. The two main instruments installed are the MRR, which provides a vertical reflectivity profile from ground level to 3 km, and the PIP, a horizontal camera pointing towards a light source, which measures the physical characteristics of each particle. The observations show that LES events are shallow, with heights of up to 1500 m, meanwhile synoptic events are deep, with vertical profile of 3000 m or beyond. The shallow events have bigger and low-density particles and synoptic events …

The Holocene Paleolimnology Of Lake Superior, Ayumi Hyodo
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study describes contributions of glacial meltwater to Lake Superior over the last ~11,000 cal BP (calibrated years before 1950 AD). This research has been motivated by a desire to understand whether glacial meltwater discharge via the Great Lakes into the North Atlantic played a role in Holocene cooling events, such as the Younger Dryas. Rhythmites (interpreted as varves), lithological, mineralogical and grain-size variations, and radiocarbon dating were used to establish chronostratigraphic correlation among four sediment cores from Lake Superior (Duluth, Caribou and Ile Parisienne basins, Thunder Bay Trough). Glacial sediments were deposited between ~10,850 and ~8,800 cal BP. The …
