An Assessment of Late Pleistocene to Middle Holocene Lake Leven Fluctuations in Surprise Valley, California
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The presence of pluvial lakes in the Basin and Range Province, in the western United States, during the late Pleistocene (40 to 10 ka) indicates far greater moisture availability during the Pleistocene glacials. This study investigates the timing and magnitude of the most recent pluvial lake cycle that filled Surprise Valley, California using geophysical, geochemical and geochronological tools.
