An engineering study of crustal movement around Lake Superior / G.W. Kite.: En36-515/62E-PDF
"Crustal movement has been measured in the Great Lakes area since the middle of the nineteenth century using long term lake level gauges. A possible cause of this movement is isostatic adjustment of the earth's crust following the last glacial retreat. One method of computing relative crustal movement is to take differences in lakes levels between pairs of gauges and compute first order linear trends. This study analyses the validity of this method and also examines methods of converting the resulting relative movements into absolute movements for the Lake Superior region"--Abstract, p. ix.
