Dam installation on a deep hydrologically open lake provides the experimental framework necessary to study influence of outlet engineering and changing base levels limnogeological processes. Here, high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, sediment cores, historical water level elevation datasets were employed assess recent depositional history Jackson Lake, dammed glacial located adjacent Teton fault in western Wyoming (USA). Prograding clinoforms imaged shallow stratigraphy indicate...
ABSTRACT The response of aquatic ecosystems in the Sierra Nevada (California, USA) to late Quaternary hydroclimate changes remains mostly unknown. Mono Lake, a large endorheic lake just east Nevada, contains an expanded archive laminated sediments that can be used examine benthos environmental changes. Fossil ostracodes from radiocarbon‐dated core were paleoecologic ~16.6 4.3k cal bp. Seven species identified, with co‐occurrence Limnocythere ceriotuberosa and staplini indicating SO 4 2−...
Abstract We examine major reorganizations of the terrestrial ecosystem around Mono Lake, California during last deglacial period from 16,000–9,000 cal yr BP using pollen, microcharcoal, and coprophilous fungal spores ( Sporormiella ) a deep-water sediment core. The pollen results record assemblage, decline, replacement mixed wooded community Sierran Great Basin taxa with Alkali Sink Sagebrush Steppe biomes Lake. In particular, enigmatic presence Sequoiadendron -type its extirpation early...
As one of the oldest lakes in US, Mono Lake has long been interest to paleolimnologists, but late glacial middle Holocene sediments have difficult obtain due presence coarse tephra layers erupted form nearby Craters and disruption lake floor by uplift Paoha Island about 300 years ago. Cores collected 2010 (BINGO-MONO10-4A; 38.00o N, 119.13o W, 2.8 m water depth) 2015 (UWI-MONO15-1C/1D; 37.99o 1119.12o 18 provide a sediment record spanning last ~16,000 years. Based on age model established...
Although a great deal of literature on the algal flora Mono Lake, California has been published, few those reports have presented data diatoms. Kociolek and Herbst (1992) collected 18 sediment samples from three sites western side lake in water up to 10 m deep. The assemblages all were dominated by benthic species preferring brackish, alkaline conditions. These differ markedly present two cores also lake. When combined, records cores, one shallow (2.8 depth, Early through Late Holocene)...
