Record #122643:

Soil development parameters in the absence of a chronosequence in a glaciated basin of the White Mountains, California--Nevada / Terry W. Swanson, Deborah L. Elliott-Fisk, Randel J. Southard.

Title: Soil development parameters in the absence of a chronosequence in a glaciated basin of the White Mountains, California--Nevada / Terry W. Swanson, Deborah L. Elliott-Fisk, Randel J. Southard.
Author(s): Swanson, Terry W.
Elliott-Fisk, Deborah L.
Southard, Randel J.
Date: 1993.
In: Quaternary Research. (1993.), Vol. 29(2) (1993)
Abstract: Detailed mapping and provisional numerical age determinations of glacial deposits provide opportunity to evaluate ability of conventional soil parameters to discriminate first- and second-order glacial events. Results indicate that site-selection strategy for establishing glacial chronologies should be reevaluated. Working with stable residual bedrock surfaces and associated low-relief outwash fans and terraces may prove more productive than focusing on relatively unstable moraine surfaces in tectonically active mountain systems.
