Goldstein H, Reynolds R, Reheis M, Yount J, Lamothe P, Roberts H, McGeehin J. 2005. Particle-Size, CaCO3, Chemical, Magnetic, and Age Data from Surficial Deposits in and around Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Open-File Report 2005-1186. National Park Service. https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051186
This report presents data and describes the methodology for magnetic, geochemical, and textural measurements of sediment and soil, as well as age determinations of sites located in and around Canyonlands National Park, on the Colorado Plateau, southeastern Utah. Many sites in and around Canyonlands National Park, Utah, were selected to include different geomorphic settings that contain sand sheets/dunes, playas, and fluvial/alluvial deposits. The data presented in this report are results of ongoing studies of American drylands, where numerous sites have been investigated to assess how climate change and land use affect the landscape, largely through geomorphic processes.
