Description :
Upper and lower limits to ice thickness in the southern Lake Agassiz basin (northeast North Dakota) during the Late Wisconsinan have been calculated. The oldest well-preserved tilted strandline of glacial Lake Agassiz, the Herman, was used to determine how much the basin was depressed by the ice sheet and, from that, how much ice was necessary to cause the given depression.
