A Search For The Seasonal Variability On The Depositional Fluxes Of 7Be And 210Pb, M. Baskaran Feb 1995

A Search For The Seasonal Variability On The Depositional Fluxes Of 7Be And 210Pb, M. Baskaran

Environmental Science and Geology Faculty Research Publications

Investigations of the atmospheric fallout of 7Be and 210Pb in many places around the globe indicate that there are seasonal variations on the depositional fluxes of these nuclides: high in winter in a few places, while in most places the high occurs in spring. However, these earlier studies did not address quantitatively the corresponding seasonal variations of the amount of precipitation during these periods. Data on the depositional fluxes of 7Be and 210Pb in Galveston, Texas, during the years 1989–1991 indicate that the seasonal variation is not uniform from year to year, and the amount of …


Conglomerates Of The Upper Middle Eocene To Lower Miocene Sespe Formation Along The Santa Ynez Fault: Implications For The Geologic History Of The Eastern Santa Maria Basin Area, Jeffrey L. Howard Jan 1995

Conglomerates Of The Upper Middle Eocene To Lower Miocene Sespe Formation Along The Santa Ynez Fault: Implications For The Geologic History Of The Eastern Santa Maria Basin Area, Jeffrey L. Howard

Environmental Science and Geology Faculty Research Publications

The depositional history of the Sespe Formation was studied using sedimentary facies analysis, clast counts, paleocurrent and clast morphological measurements, and petrographic methods. Sedimentation is interpreted to have occurred mainly as part of two depositional sequences in a coastal-braid-plain forearc-basin setting. Both sequences are present in the Santa Ynez Mountains, whereas only the upper sequence is recognized in the eastern Santa Maria basin. The lower sequence is part of a late middle to late Eocene sedimentary offlap attributed to a high input of terrigenous sediment derived mostly from the Mojave Desert region. This sequence is capped by an intraformational erosional …
