Masters ThesisKloess, Peter AlfredCalifornia has experienced significant climate change from the onset of the Miocene (~23Ma) to the present. The impact of past climate change is often recorded in the fossil record, and can be revealed by studying how ecological communities change thr . . .

Masters ThesisNadimi, KhadijaTsunami are a very real natural hazard for coastal Southern California; however, there are no geological records of past tsunami occurrence to determine their frequency and magnitude. For this study, a combination of five sedimentological analyses (se . . .

ArticleTiming and rates of Holocene normal faulting along the Black Mountains fault zone, Death Valley, USAKnott, JeffreyAlluvial fans displaced by normal faults of the Black Mountains fault zone at Badwater and Mormon Point in Death Valley were mapped, surveyed, and dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) method . . .

ArticleLoyd, SeanMethane cold seep systems typically exhibit extensive buildups of authigenic carbonate minerals, resulting from local increases in alkalinity driven by methane oxidation. Here, we demonstrate that modern seep authigenic carbonates exhibit anomalously . . . -
ArticleBursztyn, NatalieIn searching for ways to improve undergraduate success in introductory geoscience courses, the importance of experiential learning in engaging students has become clear—and in geoscience, that is encapsulated best by field trips. However, as general e . . .

ArticleKirby, MatthewPaleoenvironmental records from a southern California coastal saltmarsh reveal evidence for repeated late Holocene coseismic subsidence events. Field analysis of sediment gouge cores established discrete lithostratigraphic units extend across the wetl . . .

ArticleLoyd, SeanMajor hydrocarbon accumulations occur in traps associated with salt domes. Whereas some of these hydrocarbons remain to be extracted for economic use, significant amounts have degraded in the subsurface, yielding mineral precipitates as byproducts. Sa . . .

ArticleKirby, MatthewRecords of past climate can inform us on the natural range and mechanisms of climate change. In the arid Pacific southwestern United States (PSW), which includes southern California, there exist a variety of Holocene records that can be used to infer . . .
