Description :
Shoreline geomorphology, shoreline stratigraphic position, and radiocarbon dates of organic material obtained from trench and quarry exposures provide evidence for 2 significant post-Lahontan highstand lake transgressions in the Pyramid Lake subbasin. The AA. briefly compare their findings to previously published post-highstand Lahontan lake-level curves and other regional paleoclimate indicators.
