Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the ten chapters in this volume critically examine the geologic evidence that constrains timing and magnitude of movement on various faults of the San Andreas system, and they develop and discuss paleogeologic reconstructions based on these constraints. The volume offers new insight into the evolution of the San Andreas fault system,

This book was released on 2008 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers in this title were selected from presentations from an April 2005 workshop sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey Earth Surface Dynamics Program, the U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, and the Smithsonian Institution. Papers are divided into two broad topics of the configuration, areal extent, and temporal development of the chain of interconnected lakes that emptied into Death Valley during periods of the Pleistocene, and the late Cenozoic history of drainage integration in the lower Colorado River region. Papers are occasionally illustrated in both color and black-and-white; the publication contains no index.

Book excerpt: A literature review shows how uplift of the Colorado Plateau and development of the San Andreas transform boundary had significant consequences for evolution of the Colorado River. The San Andreas Fault in southern California is responsible for the dextral lateral migration of the Los Angeles Basin and Salton Trough (both on the Pacific Plate) at least from Middle Eocene through Present. The Colorado River, which drains much of the western part of the North American Plate, crossed this major strike-slip plate boundary prior to deposition of the main part of its sedimentary load. The delta of the Colorado is in the v northern Gulf of California at the present day, but palaeo-reconstructions of lateral displacement along the fault show that the Salton Trough lay adjacent to the point where the Colorado River crossed from the North American Plate (at about 5.33 Ma). It is also possible that at about 18 Ma, at the time of fault initiation, the Los Angeles Basin was at the same point. The study uses heavy mineral analysis (HMA) and associated techniques to test the hypothesis that an ancestral Colorado River supplied sediment both to the Los Angeles Basin and the Salton Trough. Analysis of HMA data suggests a broadly similar source for some of the sediment in the two basins, and for the modern river. The data also indicate changes in the catchment area, suggesting that the Colorado River became fully integrated across the Colorado Plateau by the early Pliocene.
