Reconstruction of post-Iroquois shoreline evolution in western Lake Ontario : procedure and preliminary results / John P. Coakley and Paul F. Karrow.: En13-5/93-36E-PDF
"When Lake Iroquois drained between 11.7 - 11.4 ka BP, lake level in the Ontario basin fell from a high of more than 40 m above present lake level to a minimum close to the then-existing sea level, which was approximately 40 m below present sea level. Since that time, lake level has been rising at an exponentially-decreasing rate in the western portion of the basin as a result of postglacial and neotectonic uplift of the outlet near Kingston, at the eastern end"--Abstract, page 2.
