• Spruce mortality across the Older Dryas woodlands resulted from the Green Bay Lobe re-advance

NDIP

  • Two Creekan-age forest 

The site collection includes buried wood from New Denmark, WI, which were provided to us from the UW-Green Bay Geosciences collection in May 2004. Crossdated tree-ring series of this site contributed to a 683-year composite record of spruce in NE Wisconsin associated with Two Creekan ice sheet re-advance dated between 14,000 and 13,300 cal y BP.

  • Early Two Creekan forest

Several samples of spruce from the Jorgensen Farm in Waushara Co., WI were collected with help of Dr. William Mode at UW-Oshkosh. Crossdated tree-ring series of this site contributed to a 510-year composite tree-ring record of Green Bay area overlapping tree rings from five locations dated to the Older Dryas (see plot below).

HTIP

  • Older Dryas spruce forest 

A good size collecction of samples was obtained from the UW-Green Bay Geoscience Dept. collection in May 2004. They had been discovered during the excavation for the heating tunnel on the campus.Tree-ring analysis reveals that there were spruce logs deposited in lacustrine sediments ca. 13,100 yrs cal BP.
