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. |
