... , 1999b ; Reheis et al., 2002 ; Kurth et al., 2011 ). However, field and modeling studies investigating pluvial lake surface areas, hydrography, and watershed runoff have assumed that the younger late Pleistocene Lake Surprise was inward draining, not connected to the Lahontan system to the south...

... Abstract Scientific investigations of Pleistocene pluvial lakes in the American West occurred in five phases. The pioneer phase prior to 1870 saw former lakes identified by missionary priests, fur trappers, military expeditions and railroad surveyors. The classic phase, between 1870 and 1920...

... watershed. Most likely, the overflow occurred during the expansion of Early Lake Estancia, an Illinoian or pre-Illinoian pluvial lake known only in subcrop. Once established in the Estancia watershed, trout occupied headwater streams and only intermittently migrated and resided in developing lake systems...

...G. H. DURY Abstract Some internally draining lakes in northwestern New South Wales, Australia, are contained in structural basins but owe their lack of external outlets to arid climate. Former high lake shorelines are defined in part by precipitated crusts or by deltas. Radiocarbon dating, although...

... ABSTRACT We used geologic mapping, tephrochronology, and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating to describe evidence of a ca. 3.5 Ma pluvial lake in Eureka Valley, eastern California, that we informally name herein Lake Andrei. We identified six different tuffs in the Eureka Valley drainage basin, including two...

... ABSTRACT The Basin and Range hosted large pluvial lakes during the Pleistocene, which generally reached highstands following the Last Glacial Maximum and then regressed rapidly to near-modern levels. These lakes were large and deep enough to profoundly affect the crust through flexure...

Pollen and ostracodes from the reduced sediments indicate a wetter and cooler climate than today. These conditions would have been capable of sustaining a lake with water much less saline than...

Location map and lake level history for Pleistocene pluvial Lake Estancia are shown. (A) Map of Estancia Basin shows the extent of the lake during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) highstands and lowstands, the centripetal drainage network that fed the lake during highstands, and playa basins formed by deflation during a two-stage drought in the mid-Holocene. Samples in this study were taken from the Laguna del Perro deflation basin. Possible groundwater leakage to the Galisteo Basin and more likely leakage through Chupadera Mesa is shown with gray arrows. EB Sill—Estancia Basin sill; PW Sill—Piños Wells Basin sill. (B) Location of Estancia Basin in the southwestern United States. (C) Lake-level history for pluvial Lake Estancia, with numbered highstands identified by Allen and Anderson (2000). Radiocarbon dates on shoreline deposits show the lake repeatedly reached the same highstand elevation. (D) Numerical modeling experiments show how long it would take for Lake Estancia to rise (or fall) from either the elevation of the basin floor (1840 m) or the LGM lowstand condition (1860 m) given different amounts of precipitation (modified from Menking et al., 2004). Geologic evidence (Allen and Anderson, 2000) indicates that Lake Estancia rose from lowstand to highstand extent within 60–80 years (age-model window), which necessitates an increase in precipitation of at least 75%.

Map of the northwestern Basin and Range, post‐pluvial lake fault scarps related to this study in bold black, and the latest Pleistocene faults in thin black, modified from the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States. Pluvial lakes (highlighting basin extents) are shown in light blue, using highstands from Allison (1982). Modern lakes are shown in dark blue. Locations of sediment cores are from Kuehn and Negrini (2010); paleoseismic trench locations are shown in pink. The inset map shows this map’s extent in the white box, in the northwest corner of the Basin and Range province. Figure revised from Egger et al. (2021). The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.
