Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Landslide Warning During Heavy Rainfall
David K. Keefer,Raymond C. Wilson,Robert K. Mark,Earl E. Brabb,William M. Brown,Stephen D. Ellen,Edwin L. Harp,Gerald F. Wieczorek,Christopher S. Alger,Robert S. Zatkin +9 more
TL;DR: Although analysis after the storms suggests that modifications and additional development are needed, the system successfully predicted the times of major landslide events and could be used as a prototype for systems in other landslide-prone regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of soil carbon during deglaciation of the laurentide ice sheet.
TL;DR: Deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America was accompanied by sequestration of organic carbon in newly exposed soils, but the natural rate of carbon sequestration in soils is small relative to the rate of anthropogenic carbon dioxide production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of soil development from four soil chronosequences in the southern Great Basin
Jennifer W. Harden,Emily M. Taylor,Cindy Hill,Robert K. Mark,Leslie D. McFadden,Marith C. Reheis,Janet M. Sowers,Steven G. Wells +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, four soil chronosequences in the southern Great Basin were examined in order to study and quantify soil development during the Quaternary, and ages of the soils were approximated from several radiometric and experimental techniques, and rates were assessed using a conservative mathematical approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of linear statistical models of earthquake magnitude versus fault length in estimating maximum expectable earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used regression of magnitude on the logarithm of the length of surface rupture L to estimate magnitude, but the regression of log L on magnitude cannot.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fan dam for Tulare Lake, California, and implications for the Wisconsin glacial history of the Sierra Nevada
Brian F. Atwater,David P. Adam,J. Platt Bradbury,Richard M. Forester,Robert K. Mark,William R. Lettis,G. Reid Fisher,Kenneth W. Gobalet,Stephen W. Robinson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a double record of paleoclimate of Tulare Lake is presented, showing that the maximum lake size has depended mainly on the height of a frequently overtopped spillway.
