In American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) Program and Abstracts of the Thirteenth Biennial Meeting. p. 189. June 19- 22, 1994, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Site discussed: Coldwater Lake. Recovered core is ca. 18 m long. Geochechemistry and ostracode assemblages reflect lake chemistry. Rapid change from fresh to saline conditions in early Holocene. Wetter/cooler conditions in mid-Holocene, drier and warmer in late Holocene. Record shows considerable variability throughout. (17/12/2007).
