Features of Owens Valley, Lone Pine to Big Pine, California
September 26-28, 1997
Lone Pine, California
The trip will have a variety of leaders and contributors, and will be coordinated by Bud Burke, Fred Berman, and Doug La Farge from the Geology Department at Humboldt State University. The following is a tentative list of leaders and contributors: (1) George Smith who has just completed mapping the Quaternary geology of the Lone Pine 15-minute Quadrangle, and who was involved in the interpretation of a long core taken from the Owens Lake bed (see GSA special paper 317); (2) Alan Gillespie who has been doing research on the Quaternary geology of the region for nearly two decades; (3) Paul Bierman who has been working with Gillespie and others to provide exposure ages for the geomorphic features in the region; (4) Malcolm Clark who recently co-authored USGS Bulletin 1982 with Sarah Beanland on the Owens Valley fault zone; (5) Fred Berman who is completing a Master's thesis on the tectonic/climatic signals represented by soils, tephras, alluvial fan stratigraphy, and lake deposits near Independence; (6) Doug La Farge who is completing a Master's thesis on the eolian component (rates, chemistry, and physical aspects) of local soil development by analyzing the "dust trap" capabilities of lava tubes; (7)
Marith Reheis who has been collecting and analyzing modern dust input throughout the southwestern U.S. including an area near a sample site of La Farge's; (8) Paul Zehfuss who has just started a Master's thesis on soils associated with faulting near Big Pine.
Assemble immediately west of Lone Pine on Friday morning, Sept. 26, at 8:00 am. A location for guidebook distribution will be set on Thursday night (Sept. 25th). The main body of the guidebook will be available at least a week before the trip at: www.holdit.com/fop Contact: Bud Burke, rmb1@axe. humboldt.edu; Doug La Farge, dwl1@ axe.humboldt. edu; Fred Berman, fab1@ axe.humboldt.edu
