  • 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.

  • Prolonged Wet Period in the Southwestern United States Through the Younger Dryas
    Prolonged wet period in the southwestern United States through the Younger Dryas Victor J. Polyak* Jessica B.T. Rasmussen Yemane Asmerom Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, USA ABSTRACT The Younger Dryas was one of the more dramatic climatic transitions ever recorded. How these types of climatic shifts are expressed in continental interiors is of primary scienti®c interest and of vital societal concern. Here we present a speleothem-based ab- solutely dated record (using uranium-series data) of climate change for the southwestern United States from growth chronology of multiple speleothems. The stalagmite growth represents the onset of wetter climate (12,500 yr B.P.) soon after the start of the Younger Dryas; the wetter climate persisted a millennium beyond the termination of the Younger Dryas. This wet cycle is likely related to a more southern positioning of the polar jet stream in response to cooler Northern Hemisphere climate. The end of the wet period coincides with the peak of the Holocene summer insolation maximum ca. 10,500 yr B.P. The AÊ llerùd (prior to the Younger Dryas), which corresponds to Clovis occupation in the southwestern United States, was drier in comparison and seems in line with a climatic contribution to megafauna extinction.
