CLIMATE vs. TECTONICS reading

Blair: Hell's Gate (11 Mb) - We might want to look at this "sheetflood" fan

Blair and Raynolds: Hole in the Wall (44 Mb) - No need to read this entire thing (it's a monster), but we will visit it.

Clevis: Fan modeling (2 Mb) - A cellular model of fan formation. Not essential, but could be useful for discussion. Especially for Liz and Neil.

Dorn: Death Valley Fan climate plus comment plus reply (~1.5 Mb total) - Controversial technique

Fairchild and Kennedy: Review of Neoproterozoic glaciations (2 Mb) - Long review of Snowball Earth. Martin says only read if you have time. Not Death Valley-centric.

Geist: Seismic cross setion (0.9 Mb)- To answer Neil's question about basin geometry

Holm: Turtleback origin (1.1 Mb) - On the structure of the "turtlebacks."

Prave: Neoproterozoic (0.8 Mb) - Martin Kennedy suggests we look at some "Snowball Earth" deposits, maybe these.

Reid: Racetrack Playa and comment (1.5 Mb total) - Maybe we will go there this year.

Smith et al: Salt erosion (0.4 Mb) - Possible explanation of "blasted" rocks on fans? Not Death Valley-centric.

Stewart: Panamint (4 Mb) - Basic pitch on extension.

Yang: DeathValley core (0.5 Mb) - For those interested in the climate over the past 200 ka. Especially for Brady.

Yose: Pennsylvanian basin (9 Mb) - If we chose to visit the Upper Paleozoic units.
