Bonneville lake basin shoreline records of large lake and abrupt climate change events
This study examines lacustrine shoreline sediment records of the Bonneville lake basin in North America. One of the most straightforward, robust, and useful characteristics of lacustrine shorelines is that shoreline features always form at water's edge to mark where the lake surface level is. H...

This study examines lacustrine shoreline sediment records of the Bonneville lake basin in North America.
