Auteur :
LICHTER, J.

Description :
This paper reports the results of AMS radiocarbon dates of plant macrofossils associated with dune formation and growth, determines the historical relationships among beach-ridge formation, lake-level fluctuation, and regional climatic variation, and finally provides an interpretation of lake-level and regional climate history based on dune morphology and the radiocarbon chronology of ridge formation.
