Using tree-ring methods, we dated deadwood to AD 815– 1350 and infer from death dates that the eruption occurred in late summer AD 1350. Based on wood anatomy, we identified deadwood species as Pinus albicaulis, P. monticola, P. lambertiana, P. contorta, P. jeffreyi, and Tsuga mertensiana. Only P. albicaulis grows at these elevations currently; P. lambertiana is not locally native. Using contemporary distributions of the species, we modeled paleoclimate during the time of sympatry to be significantly warmer (+3.2°C annual minimum temperature) and slightly drier (−24 mm annual precipitation) than present, resembling values projected for California in the next 70–100 yr. © 2006 University of Washington.

  • CAMP: SUMMER Trail Survey On-Site Computer Stations Photo 1
    CAMP Online Trails Surveys In cooperation with the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Alta Planning + Design, and Trail Solutions, MLTPA provided feedback on both the Summer and Winter Online Trail Survey questions and format, which were developed by the TOML and the consultant teams with assistance from the survey hosting company, Leisure Trends. MLTPA also conducted the majority of public outreach for these surveys, the methods of which are discussed below. The Summer Online Trail Survey ran from October 27, 2007, to March 14, 2008, and was completed by 330 people. The Winter Online Trail Survey ran from December 18, 2007, to March 14, 2008, and was completed by 316 people. (An unknown number of participants in both cases started taking the surveys, but did not finish; as a result, their input is not reflected in these totals.) Results and copies of the survey contents are available in Appendix E, “CAMP: Summer Survey Data (TOML),” and Appendix F, “CAMP: Winter Survey Data (TOML).” • Business cards Beginning with CAMP: WINTER outreach efforts, MLTPA designed, produced, and distributed business cards driving people to the MLTPA website to take both the Summer and Winter surveys. Cards were handed out by individuals and also were provided to a number of local businesses with display-ready cardholders to minimize point-of-sale clutter. • E-mail campaigns As part of their regular e-mail blasts for both events, MLTPA invited recipients to participate in both the Summer and Winter trail surveys, providing direct links to the survey URLs. Please see the “E-mail campaigns” chapters of the “CAMP: SUMMER” and “CAMP: WINTER” reports for further detail.

The Club designated The Bancroft Library as its official archives in 1958, and the organization began transferring records from the San Francisco office to the Library on a regular basis in 1970. A very wide range of record types are included in the collection, including correspondence, minutes, agendas, reports, by-laws, financial records, scrapbooks, sample ballots, notes, rosters, action alerts, statements and testimony, press releases, clippings, and policy statements. Documentation for the early years is scarce, since the Club's office in San Francisco was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
