  • Spatially-Explicit Modeling of Modern and Pleistocene Runoff and Lake Extent in the Great Basin Region, Western United States
    Spatially-explicit modeling of modern and Pleistocene runoff and lake extent in the Great Basin region, western United States Yo Matsubara1 Alan D. Howard1 1Department of Environmental Sciences University of Virginia P.O. Box 400123 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4123 Abstract A spatially-explicit hydrological model balancing yearly precipitation and evaporation is applied to the Great Basin Region of the southwestern United States to predict runoff magnitude and lake distribution during present and Pleistocene climatic conditions. The model iteratively routes runoff through, and evaporation from, depressions to find a steady state solution. The model is calibrated with spatially-explicit annual precipitation estimates and compiled data on pan evaporation, mean annual temperature, and total yearly runoff from stations. The predicted lake distribution provides a close match to present-day lakes. For the last glacial maximum the sizes of lakes Bonneville and Lahontan were well predicted by linear combinations of decrease in mean annual temperature from 0 to 6 °C and increases in precipitation from 0.8 to 1.9 times modern values. Estimated runoff depths were about 1.2 to 4.0 times the present values and yearly evaporation about 0.3 to 1 times modern values. 2 1. Introduction The Great Basin of the southwestern United States in the Basin and Range physiographic province contains enclosed basins featuring perennial and ephemeral lakes, playas and salt pans (Fig. 1). The Great Basin consists of the entire state of Nevada, western Utah, and portions of California, Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. At present it supports an extremely dry, desert environment; however, about 40 lakes (some reaching the size of present day Great Lakes) episodically occupied the Great Basin, most recently during the last glacial maximum (LGM) [Snyder and Langbein, 1962; Hostetler et al., 1994; Madsen et al., 2001].

  • Pleistocene Climate in New Mexico
    [finfERICAN JovnNaI. OF SCIENCE, VOX.. 249, FEBRUARY, 1961, PP. 162-1681 PLEISTOCENE CLIMATE IN NEW MEXICO LUNA B. LEOPOLD ABSTRACT. Recently published meridional profiles of the mean tempera- ture of the free atmosphere provide an opportunity to apply meteorologic upper air data to the problem of snowlines. The modern snowline of the Rocky Mountains is shown to be nearly identical to the mean level of the 0°C. isotherm for the summer months, corroborating the well-known postu- late that snowltines are controlled by summer temperatures. This postulate is applied in speculating on the annual march of temperature in glacial time in New Mexico. The mean annual temperature so derived is applied to the hydrologic balance of a late Pleistocene lake in the closed bwin of Estancia, New Mexico, in an attempt to check the computation for that lake made by Antevs. ine that separates areas of snow accumulation from T'"those lower areas where snow disappears in summer is the regional snowline (Flint, 1947). The Pleistocene snowline dis- cussed here is the approximation furnished by the level of cirque excavation. The altitude of the snowline of Wisconsin time mas approxi- mately 12,000 feet in the southern Rocky Mountains and dc- creased in height northward. Data on the elevations of Wiscon- sin and the present snowlines have been pubIished by mute (1928) and Louis (1926). Depending on how much snow blows over the mountain crest, the snowline on an individual mountain range is not at the same elevation on opposite sides. This was true in Wisconsin time as well as at present and contributes to the difficulties of establishing the exact position of the Wiscon- sin snowline.

  • GRE Scoping Summary for White Sands National Monument
    Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary White Sands National Monument Geologic Resources Division Prepared by Katie KellerLynn National Park Service June 10, 2008 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resource Evaluation (GRE) Program provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this report), digital geologic map, and geologic resource evaluation report. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The purpose of these meetings is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and potential monitoring and research needs. In 2003 the Geologic Resource Division (GRD) coordinated a Geoindicators scoping meeting for White Sands National Monument. This meeting was in response to a technical assistance request from park managers, who wanted input on the geologic resources at White Sands National Monument for their resource management plan. Recognizing that the Geoindicators scoping process could satisfy this request, GRD staff coordinated a scoping meeting with park staff and cooperators (table 1, p. 20). The current Geologic Resource Evaluation Program supercedes the Geoindicators process. On November 14, 2007, GRE staff and cooperators (table 2, p. 20) convened during a follow-up meeting to ensure all features and processes now discussed as part of the GRE process were adequately covered by the preexisting Geoindicators report. Scoping included a field trip led by David Bustos (White Sands National Monument) for some of the participants on November 13, 2007.
