Introducing myself and possible sources to update the page

Hello! I am a student editor in an Wetland Ecology class. I've chosen this article to provide a little more in depth facts about the prairie pothole region. I've done some preliminary research and found some websites/sources that I think could work for updating this article. I would love some feedback on what you think of them. https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/documents/Status-and-Trends-of-Prairie-Wetlands-in-the-United-States-1997-to-2009.pdf

Origin of potholes

This research - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240797999_The_past_present_and_future_of_prairie_potholes_in_the_United_States - seems to say that the 'potholes' are in fact what are typically called kettles or kettleholes formed as ice blocks melted in-situ during the waning of a glacier or icesheet, though clearly pothole is the preferred term locally, so added a ref for that.
