Sediment reservoir dynamics on steepland valley floors : influence of network structure and effects of inherited ages

Creator:

Frueh, Walter Terry

Abstract:

Sediment deposit ages inferred from radiocarbon dating of stream bank material were used to estimate residence times of valley-floor deposits in headwater valleys of the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Inherited ages of radiocarbon-dated material, i.e., time between carbon fixation in wood and its incorporation in a sediment deposit, can result...
