Journal ArticleDOI
Lacustrine varve formation through time
Roger Y. Anderson,Walter E. Dean +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal flux of sediment regulates both the composition and timing of deposition of materials that reach the bottoms of lakes, and the seasonally deposited materials are preserved as annual groupings of laminae (varves).
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional aridity in North America during the middle Holocene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a lake core from Elk Lake, northwestern Minnesota, to calibrate the time of peak aeolian clastic activity in Minnesota dune fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric circulation during Holocene lake stands in the Mojave Desert: evidence of regional climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the modern climate and hydrological patterns that produce ephemeral lakes in this usually arid watershed and suggested that the late Holocene lakes may have resulted from persistent similar atmospheric circulation patterns and winter floods.
Journal ArticleDOI
A continuous, high-resolution record of late Pleistocene climate variability from the Estancia basin, New Mexico
Bruce D. Allen,Roger Y. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, lake sediments that accumulated in the Estancia basin, central New Mexico, provide a detailed record of submillennial latest Pleistocene climatic oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from Western north america for rapid shifts in climate during the last glacial maximum
Bruce D. Allen,Roger Y. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence for strong and rapid pulsations in the supply of moisture brought into the region during the last ice age is found during episodes of stream discharge that spread plumes of fresh water laden with quartz sand over the saline lake.
