Online resources: Summary: The southern shoreline of Lake Winnipeg has transgressed landward, to the south, an estimated 60 to 100 metres since about 1650 AD. Radiometric dates on these deposits suggest that the lake level in the southern basin is rising 15 to 20 cm per 100 years due to isostatic tilting of the lake outlet and possibly climatic fluctuations over the past few centuries.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 50-52).
