Constraints on mantle viscosity and Laurentide ice sheet evolution from pluvial paleolake shorelines in the western United States

Constraints on mantle viscosity and Laurentide ice sheet evolution from pluvial paleolake shorelines in the western United States

The deformation pattern of the paleoshorelines of extinct Lake Bonneville were among the first features to indicate that Earths interior responds viscoelastically to changes in surface loads (Gilbert, 1885). Here we revisit and extend this classic study of isostatic rebound with updated lake chronologies for Lake Bonneville and Lake Lahontan …
