Lake Altus-Lugert, looking south. Lake Altus-Lugert, also known as Lake Altus, [3] Lake Lugert, [4] Lake Lugert-Altus, [5] and Lugert Lake, [3] is a reservoir located on the North Fork Red River, [1] about 17 miles (27 km) north of Altus, Oklahoma on the former site of the town of Lugert, Oklahoma.
In 1927, Lake Altus (now Lake Altus-Lugert) was created at the base of the Quartz Mountains. In 1935, a 148.3-acre (0.600 km 2 ) tract adjoining the lake was declared Quartz Mountain State Park. This tract was bought by citizens of Altus who donated it to the state for use as a park.
Additional land has been donated since then, and the park now encompasses 4,540 acres (18.4 km 2). [3] The park occupies land on the west side of Lake Altus-Lugert, which was originally built in 1927, then expanded in 1940 and renamed Lake Altus-Lugert. The park contains 4,284 acres (17.34 km 2) of land and more than 6,000 acres (24 km 2) of ...

The last time the sea level was higher than today was during the Eemian, about 130,000 years ago. [2] Over a shorter timescale, the low level reached during the LGM rebounded in the early Holocene, between about 14,000 and 6,500 years ago, leading to a 110 m sea level rise. Sea levels have been comparatively stable over the past 6,500 years ...
The nearly 8100 major dams in the United States in 2006. The National Inventory of Dams defines a major dam as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3).
Postglacial Sea level Rise Curve and Meltwater Pulses (MWP) Meltwater pulse 1B (MWP1b) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of either rapid or just accelerated post-glacial sea level rise that some hypothesize to have occurred between 11,500 and 11,200 years ago at the beginning of the Holocene and after the end of the Younger Dryas.
