Detailed Long Profile of the Lower Chippewa River : Evidence of Ongoing Episodic Incision
Wick, Nathaniel Scott; Krueger, Samuel Adams (2013-05)During the Late Wisconsin ice age, the Lower Chippewa River (LCR) served as an important meltwater stream and aggraded, partially filling its valley with glacial outwash. Subsequently, the river incised into the outwash ... -
The Extent of Tributary Incision in Response to Knickpoint Migration on the Lower Chippewa River in West-Central Wisconsin
Hilgendorf, Zach (2015-04)The Lower Chippewa River (LCR) is a tributary to the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) in west-central Wisconsin. Its valley contains several terraces resulting from the apparent episodic upstream migration of knickpoints ... -
Fluvial System Response to Abrupt Base Level Fall: Mapping Tributary Stream Terraces in the Lower Chippewa River Watershed
Grong, Katie; Delikowski, Hunter; Faulkner, Douglas J. (2021-04)During the Late Wisconsinan, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) advanced from Canada towards the Chippewa River Watershed. Approximately 30,000 years ago (30 ka), the Chippewa Lobe of the LIS entered the watershed and reached ... -
Geomorphology of Cliff-Top Parabolic Dunes within the Lower Chippewa River Valley, Upper Putnam Park, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Larson, Phillip H.; McDonald, Jacob M.; Baker, Anna C.; Dryer, W. Patrick (2009-02-03)This investigation is part of a broader body of research underway in the Lower Chippewa River Valley (LCRV) of west-central Wisconsin. The LCRV is dominated by sandy texture alluvial and glaciofluvial sediments. The purposes ... -
Ground-Truthing GPR Profiles : Half Moon Lake, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Guida, Ross (2009-04)The objective of this study was to expand ground-truthing of ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles of Half Moon Lake. Ground-truthing involved coring along GPR profiles in order to assess the accuracy of past GPR profile ... -
Investigating Hornblende Etching as a Relative Dating Technique in the Lower Chippewa River Valley.
Crist, Taylor; Young, Benjamin M. (2009-04)The Lower Chippewa River Valley (LCRV) is similar to many large river systems throughout the United States. Little is know about its geomorphic history. The purpose of this research is to determine if Hornblende Etching ... -
Knickpoints : Evidence of a Domino Effect on Tributaries to the Lower Chippewa River
Moothart, Emily; Anderson, Nik; Adams, Hannah; Williams, Anneli; Smuhl, Rory; Cottrell, Emily; Kleist, Ben; Leifer, Peter; Sawall, Peter; Wysocki, Adam; Faulkner, Douglas J. (2017-04-13)This research aims to investigate the developments of knickpoints on tributaries of the Lower Chippewa River (LCR) in accordance with incision of the LCR. -
Late Quarternary Eolian Dunes and Fluvial Terraces of the Lower Chippewa River Valley.
Olson, Lindsay M.; Larson, Phillip H. (2009-02-06)The Lower Chippewa River Valley (LCRV) extends south-southwest ~100 km from Eau Claire, Wisconsin to its confluence with the Mississippi River near Wabasha, Minnesota. A sequence of seven paired alluvial terraces were ... -
Mapping Post-Glacial Terraces in the Lower Cannon River Valley, southeastern Minnesota : Geomorphic and Archaeological Significance
Slade, Adria; Marcou, Nicole; Running, Garry L.; Faulkner, Douglas J. (2019-05)The Cannon River, a tributary of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) located in southeastern Minnesota, enters the UMR near Red Wing, Minnesota. The Lower Cannon River (LCR) is that portion of the stream downstream from the ... -
Mapping Vegetation Change along the Lower Chippewa River.
Ebert, Jackie E. (2009-01-12)The Lower Chippewa River is a dynamic and unique river system which supports a high diversity of habitat types. Despite the ecological importance of this river system and its surrounding habitat, relatively little is known ... -
Patterns of Downstream Fining on the Lower Chippewa River
Faulkner, Douglas J.; Adams, Hannah R.; Vincent, Allison M. (2016-10-12)This study examines downstream fning of bed armor on the lower Chippewa River (LCR) in west-central Wisconsin at two different scales: at a river scale and at a local scale of individual armored bars. The upstream limit ... -
Planimetric Channel Change along the Lower Chippewa River in West-Central Wisconsin, 1938-2008
King, Nicholas E.; Wichlacz, Amy E. (2009-07-23)The Chippewa River, a major tributary to the Mississippi River in west-central Wisconsin, appears to be an exceptionally dynamic stream. This seems particularly true of the river downstream from Eau Claire, as suggested ... -
Searching for Flood Rings in Quercus Macrocarpa on the Lower Chippewa River
Faulkner, Douglas J.; Kurtz, Lindsey; Trumper, Matthew (2018-05)Dendrohydrology studies offer annually resolved flood data for paleofloods, those occurring before modern instrumentation, especially for high magnitude, low-frequency events. These events can lengthen the current flood ... -
Soils and Subsurface GPR Imaging of Fluvial Terraces in the Lower Chippewa River Valley, WI.
Young, Benjamin M.; Swartz, Danielle M. (2009-04)Little detail is known about the late Quaternary geomorphic history of the Upper Mississippi River and its major tributaries. However, the Lower Chippewa River Valley (LCRV) landscape suggests a complex history of Late ... -
Subaqueous Industrial Waste in Western Wisconsin Lakes : Reducing/Redirecting the Dredged Materials from Landfills.
Dryer, W. Patrick; McDonald, Jacob M. (2009-01-09)Logging was an essential part of western Wisconsin's economy from the 1850s to the 1920s. The logging industry used Half Moon Lake (HML) in Eau Claire as a holding pond awaiting processing at sawmills along the lakeshore. ...
