An enlarged view of the brown box in the map above, showing several ponds studied by WHOI scientists. At top, a cross-section (from points A' to A) of the area, showing water table levels today and two scenarios for water table levels 3,000 and 5,000 years ago during the Holocene Epoch when drought conditions prevailed in the New England region.
