Twenty-seven different authors bring their knowledge of Wisconsin geography to bear in a wide range of essays organized into three parts: natural environments and wild landscapes; settlement processes and cultural patterns; and regional economies

This paper examines the processes that influence spatial patterns of historical floodplain sedimentation and the implications for the evolution of floodplains in the Blue River watershed, Wisconsin. The storage of historical overbank sediments

An exceptional stratigraphic and pedologic record of Pleistocene environmental conditions occurs at the Kieler Site in the Driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin. Peoria, Roxana, Loveland, and pre-Loveland loesses overlie weathered bedrock

Spatial characteristics of stream power are examined along 4 stream reaches through the Blue River watershed in southwestern Wisconsin. This study contributes to the general problem of explaining the spatial structure of energy expenditure
In this paper, diachronic and event classifications are proposed for the Great Lakes region. Well-established names, including Wisconsin, Sangamon, and Illinois, are used at the episode (or glaciation/interglaciation) rank without significant
redefinition. The Hudson Episode (Interglaciation) is introduced for postglacial time, the current interglacial interval. The Wisconsin Episode is divided into the Ontario, Elgin, and Michigan Subepisodes in the eastern and northern parts of the Great Lakes
of the master drainage below an Early Wisconsin terrace to the present river level, followed by base level stability. As a result, Early Wisconsin alluvial surfaces on the shale have been dissected up to 62m into steep badlands, and a Holocene alluvial surface
Hourly wind data from a network of climate stations in the north-central United States (drawn from the states of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) are analyzed to evaluate the efficacy
