me$m$5b86e0.0r.00p0rice Paleozoic Stratigraphy and Resources of the Michigan Basin

Edited by G. Michael Grammer, William B. Harrison III, and David A. Barnes

The Michigan Basin is a classic intracratonic basin that has played a significant role in
the fundamental understanding of geological processes in such basins, and has been an
important resource for oil and gas, economic minerals, groundwater, and coal. Current
utilization of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and three-dimensional geostatistical
modeling have led to a new and more comprehensive understanding of the Paleozoic
sedimentary packages of the Michigan Basin. This volume provides significant insights into
the Michigan Basin to both academic and applied geoscientists; its papers discuss various
aspects of the sedimentology and stratigraphy of key units within the basin and analyze the
diverse distribution of natural resources present in this basin.

me$m$6b40e2.0r.00p0rice Quaternary Glaciation of the Great Lakes Region: Process, Landforms, Sediments,
and Chronology

Edited by Alan E. Kehew and B. Brandon Curry

Taking advantage of new technological advances in Quaternary geology and
geomorphology, this volume showcases new developments in glacial geology. Honoring the
legacy of Frank Leverett and F.B. Taylor’s 1915 USGS monograph of the region, this book
covers diverse topics ranging from hydrogeology, near-surface geophysics, geotectonics,
and vertebrate paleontology to glacial geomorphology and glacial history. Several papers
make use of detailed, nuanced shaded relief maps of digital elevation models of LiDAR data;
these advances are brought into historical perspective by visiting the history of geologic
mapping of Michigan. Looking forward, interpretations of the shaded relief maps evoke novel
processes, such as regional evolution of subglacial and supraglacial drainage systems of
receding glacial margins. The volume also includes assessment of chronological issues in
light of greater accuracy and precision of radiocarbon dating of plant fossils using accelerator
mass spectrometry versus older techniques.
