Levels in the Erie Basin : 4000 BP to present / by: J.P. Coakley.: En13-5/99-228E-PDF
"Lake levels in the Erie basin are driven by three major factors: postglacial isostatic rebound of the outlets, regional hydrological and climatic changes, and to a lesser extent, by neotectonic movements of the outlet. Because of a combination of factors, Lake Erie has undergone a complex history of rises, declines, and stability since the close of the glacial period some 12 000 years ago.
