... increase from near 0 to 32 mm/yr between San Juan Bautista and Bitterwater Valley in step-like increments. From Bitterwater to Slack Canyon slip rates vary between 26 and 32 mm/yr. Slip rates decrease southwestward of Slack Canyon to 3 mm/yr at Cholame. In contrast, Geodolite measurements of deformation...

...William L. Graf Abstract Between 1945 and 1952 the development of nuclear weapons at Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, resulted in the disposal of plutonium into the alluvium of nearby Acid and (to a lesser degree) DP Canyons. Previous research has identified some of this material...

... with the most recent arroyo-cutting event upstream. These new data show that transfer of sediment from alluvial valleys during historic arroyo cutting temporarily enhanced preservation of alluvial deposits in the bedrock canyon downstream. Thus, we argue that slack-water deposition in canyons like Buckskin...

.... Paleoflood water-surface profiles defined by high-water indicators such as slack-water sediments and silt lines indicate that discharges of up to 400±50 m 3 /s have affected the lower reaches of this bedrock stream system. Stratigraphic relationships and archaeologic and radiometric age constraints indicate...

... glaciation. In these valleys, the field evidence for hiatuses between floods is commonly subtle. However, paleomagnetic remanence directions from waterlaid silt beds in three sections of rhythmically bedded flood deposits at Zillah, Touchet, and Burlingame Canyon display consistent secular variation...

...VICTOR R. BAKER; G. PICKUP Abstract The Katherine Gorge is a narrow, deep canyon system developed in resistant sandstone. The tropical monsoonal climate results in rare flood events of very large magnitude. These floods flush sand-sized sediment as washload through the gorge, but local...

...IRA S. ALLISON Abstract Introduction The basalt plateau of eastern Washington exhibits a peculiar assemblage of physiographic features, including a complex set of interlocking stream channels, abandoned canyons and cataracts, steep-walled buttes, rock-rimmed basins, residual islands of loess...
