Elmo, Geography/Geology, UW-Marinette, 750 W Bay Shore St, Marinette, WI 54143, and HANSON, Paul, Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, Univ. of Nebraska, 102 Nebraska Hall, Lincoln, NE 68588-0517 The Sandhill Wildlife Area is an approximately 9000 acre wildlife preserve located in the eastern portion of the Glacial Lake Wisconsin basin. The area is near the last glacial maximum outlet and contains several relict geomorphic forms including braided channels and low-relief dunes. The area today is dominated by wetlands and flowages, however the dunes do provide forest habitat of oak, aspen and jack pine. The area is managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and includes several miles of paved and gravel roads that are a popular destination for wildlife enthusiast. This poster presents luminescence ages and sediment analysis from an isolated area of thick eolian sand (~ seven meters). Data from this study will be used to create a brochure for the Wildlife Area.
