Great Lakes water levels : a review for coastal engineering design / by Craig T. Bishop.: En13-5/87-18E-PDF
"Available Great Lakes water level data, some as early as 1815, are reviewed. Estimates of earlier (up to 350 years ago) water level ranges are deduced from historical, archeological and geologic sources. The latter water levels did not exceed those on record since 1815. Literature on climate change, both past and future, is reviewed from the Great Lakes Basin. Results from numerical hydrologic response models are summarized to determine possible ranges for future Great Lakes water levels. Over the next 50 years, water levels are unlikely to exceed appreciably the modern records"--Abstract, page 2.
