Foundering lithosphere imaged beneath the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA.
Seismic tomography reveals garnet-rich crust and mantle lithosphere descending into the upper mantle beneath the southeastern Sierra Nevada. The descending lithosphere consists of two layers: an iron-rich eclogite above a magnesium-rich garnet peridotite. These results place descending eclogite above and east of high P wave speed material previously imaged beneath the southern Great Valley, sug...
متن کاملSedimentary charcoal as an indicator of late-Holocene drought in the Sierra Nevada, California, and its relevance to the future
A Holocene record of climate, re and vegetation regimes was reconstructed for Siesta Lake, Yosemite National Park, California, using fossil pollen and charcoal from lake sediments. These reconstructions were generated to provide a long-term perspective on drought in the Sierra Nevada. The sedimentary record is in agreement with other long-term records of climate and vegetation from the Sierra...
متن کاملLate Pleistocene and late Holocene lake highstands in the Pyramid Lake subbasin of Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA
Shoreline geomorphology, shoreline stratigraphy, and radiocarbon dates of organic material incorporated in constructional beach ridges record large lakes during the late Pleistocene and late Holocene in the Pyramid Lake subbasin of Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA. During the late Holocene, a transgression began at or after 3595 F 35 C yr B.P. and continued, perhaps in pulses, through 2635 F 40 C yr ...

The Sierra Nevada is a c. 4000 m range of mountains paralle1 to the North American Pacific Coast that was repeatedly glaciated during the climatic fluchrations of the Quatemary. The glacial record on the eastem side of the range includes eight named Pleistocene glaciations and stadials: McGee, Sherwin, Casa Diablo, Mono Basin, Tahoe, Tenaya, Tioga and Recess Peak, as well as the Neoglacial Matt...
