Description :
The purpose of this study was to compare soil and other relative-dating parameters on the Owens River terraces with the same parameters on the nearby moraines of the eastern Sierra Nevada, to attempt to correlate between the two geomorphic systems, and to test the hypothesis that different amounts of relief may cause significant differences in apparent surface exposure age.
