GLIN==> The Glaciers Are Long Gone, But They’re Still Affecting Great Lakes Water Levels

Good morning,

There's a new post today on the International Upper Great Lakes Study
website, about Glacial Isostatic Adjustment.

"The Earth is moving underneath our feet in the Great Lakes region. It’s
just difficult to notice.

The lakes do notice, however, and GIA, or Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, has
changed the region’s apparent water levels over time. The levels are still
changing, and that’s one consideration in drafting a new regulation plan as
part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, or IUGLS."

Thanks,

Jeff.
