Spatial and Temporal Landscape Responses to Progressive Tectonic Forcing along California Fault Systems

Creator:

Manopkawee, Pichawut

Abstract:

Understanding the degree to which topography of erosional landscapes in active mountain belts encode the rates and patterns of active deformation in the upper crust is a primary goal in the field of tectonic geomorphology. In particular, the convolved influence of variations in rock mass quality and the erodibility of...

Past climate variability in southwestern Oregon and relationships with regional and hemispheric climate

Creator:

Ersek, Vasile

Abstract:

This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer the timing and amplitude of past climate variability. We first assess the controls on speleothem growth for...

A stratigraphic approach to characterize the deposition and storage of organic matter in reservoir sediments

Creator:

Stratton Garvin, Laurel E.

Abstract:

The relationship between carbon burial and sedimentation in reservoirs is unknown, exposing gaps in our fundamental understanding of the transport, processing, and deposition of sediment and organic matter in fluvial and lacustrine systems and contributing to uncertainty in our understanding of the net impact of dams to the global carbon...
