  • The Climate of Death Valley, California
    THE CLIMATE OF DEATH VALLEY, CALIFORNIA BY STEVEN ROOF AND CHARLIE CALLAGAN The notoriously extreme climate of Death Valley records shows significant variability in the long-term, including a 35% increase in precipitation in the last 40 years. eath Valley National Park, California, is widely known for its extreme hot and Ddry climate. High summer temperatures, low humidity, high evaporation, and low pre- cipitation characterize the valley, of which over 1300 km2 (500 mi2) are below sea level (Fig. 1). The extreme summer climate attracts great interest: July and August visitation in Death Valley National Park has doubled in the last 10 years. From June through August, the average temperature at Furnace Creek, Death Valley [54 m (177 ft) below sea level] is 98°F (37°C).1 Daytime high temperatures typically exceed 90°F (32°C) more than half of the year, and temperatures above 120°F (49°C) occur 1 Weather data are reported here in their original units in to order retain the original level of precision re- corded by the observers. FIG. I. Location map of the Death Valley region. Death Valley National Park is outlined in blue, main roads shown in red, and the portion of the park below sea level is highlighted in white.

  • Tectonic Influences on the Spatial and Temporal Evolution of the Walker Lane: an Incipient Transform Fault Along the Evolving Pacific – North American Plate Boundary
    Arizona Geological Society Digest 22 2008 Tectonic influences on the spatial and temporal evolution of the Walker Lane: An incipient transform fault along the evolving Pacific – North American plate boundary James E. Faulds and Christopher D. Henry Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada, 89557, USA ABSTRACT Since ~30 Ma, western North America has been evolving from an Andean type mar- gin to a dextral transform boundary. Transform growth has been marked by retreat of magmatic arcs, gravitational collapse of orogenic highlands, and periodic inland steps of the San Andreas fault system. In the western Great Basin, a system of dextral faults, known as the Walker Lane (WL) in the north and eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) in the south, currently accommodates ~20% of the Pacific – North America dextral motion. In contrast to the continuous 1100-km-long San Andreas system, discontinuous dextral faults with relatively short lengths (<10-250 km) characterize the WL-ECSZ. Cumulative dextral displacement across the WL-ECSZ generally decreases northward from ≥60 km in southern and east-central California, to ~25 km in northwest Nevada, to negligible in northeast California. GPS geodetic strain rates average ~10 mm/yr across the WL-ECSZ in the western Great Basin but are much less in the eastern WL near Las Vegas (<2 mm/ yr) and along the northwest terminus in northeast California (~2.5 mm/yr). The spatial and temporal evolution of the WL-ECSZ is closely linked to major plate boundary events along the San Andreas fault system. For example, the early Miocene elimination of microplates along the southern California coast, southward steps in the Rivera triple junction at 19-16 Ma and 13 Ma, and an increase in relative plate motions ~12 Ma collectively induced the first major episode of deformation in the WL-ECSZ, which began ~13 Ma along the N60°W-trending Las Vegas Valley shear zone.

  • Interest and the Panamint Shoshone (E.G., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934)
    109 VyI. NOTES ON BOUNDARIES AND CULTURE OF THE PANAMINT SHOSHONE AND OWENS VALLEY PAIUTE * Gordon L. Grosscup Boundary of the Panamint The Panamint Shoshone, also referred to as the Panamint, Koso (Coso) and Shoshone of eastern California, lived in that portion of the Basin and Range Province which extends from the Sierra Nevadas on the west to the Amargosa Desert of eastern Nevada on the east, and from Owens Valley and Fish Lake Valley in the north to an ill- defined boundary in the south shared with Southern Paiute groups. These boundaries will be discussed below. Previous attempts to define the Panamint Shoshone boundary have been made by Kroeber (1925), Steward (1933, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941) and Driver (1937). Others, who have worked with some of the groups which border the Panamint Shoshone, have something to say about the common boundary between the group of their special interest and the Panamint Shoshone (e.g., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934). Kroeber (1925: 589-560) wrote: "The territory of the westernmost member of this group [the Shoshone], our Koso, who form as it were the head of a serpent that curves across the map for 1, 500 miles, is one of the largest of any Californian people. It was also perhaps the most thinly populated, and one of the least defined. If there were boundaries, they are not known. To the west the crest of the Sierra has been assumed as the limit of the Koso toward the Tubatulabal. On the north were the eastern Mono of Owens River.

  • 2021 Magazine
    July 2021 Welcome to the July 2021 edition of BADWATER® Magazine! We are AdventureCORPS®, producers of ultra-endurance sports events and adventure travel across the globe, and the force behind the BADWATER® brand. This magazine celebrates the entire world-wide Badwater® / AdventureCORPS® series of races, all the Badwater Services, Gear, Drinks, and Clothing, and what we like to call the Badwater Family and the Badwater Way of Life. Adventure is our way of life, so – after the sad and disastrous 2020 when we were not able to host any of our life-changing events – we are pleased to be fully back in action in 2021! Well, make that almost fully: Due to pandemic travel bans still in place, international participation in our USA-based events is not where we want it and that’s really unfortunate. Badwater 135 is the de facto Olympics of Ultrarunning and the 135-Mile World Championship, so we always want as many nationalities represented as possible. (The inside front cover of this magazine celebrates all sixty-one nationalities which have been represented on the Badwater 135 start line over the years.) Our new six-day stage race across Armenia – Artsakh Ultra – will have to wait yet another year to debut in 2022, two years later than planned. But it will be incredible, the ultimate stage race with six days of world-class trail running through several millennia of incredible culture and history, and across the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes. This year, we are super excited to have brought two virtual races to life, first for the 31 days of January, and then for 16 days in April.

  • Volume 66 Issue 1 Winter 2021
    Preservation By David Blacker, Executive Director From the Director DVNHA One of the biggest highlights of visiting Death Valley National Park or Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is seeing and maybe getting a photo of a desert bighorn sheep. You see the desert bighorn in our logo, a strong and majestic animal with iconic large curling horns, but your chance of seeing one of these incredible creatures is shrinking. Surprisingly the biggest reason is not climate change, but the spread of an invasive species that dominates and destroys their water sources and bullies them out of their historic range. In the economic downturn of the early 2000s, people stopped adopting burros and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) pens filled up. A growing unchecked burro population began to grow and spread. I began to hear reports of sightings in Panamint Valley and the Nevada Triangle back in 2005. Now there are herds occupying Butte Valley, Skidoo, Wildrose, and southern areas of the park. Everywhere burros appear, the impact is predictable. First they seize control of the local water source, trampling or eating the native vegetation. Being very territorial, they use their size and aggressive nature to chase off any competition. Once burros move into a water source, bighorn sheep will not use it. Our partners at NPS are working diligently to reduce and remove invasive burros from the park. They have partnered with Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue to roundup and adopt out burros from Death Valley. Burro numbers increase by 20-30% a year, so more than 750 burros need to be rounded up annually to stay ahead of reproduction.

The repository concept uses the philosophy of multiple barriers, both engineered and natural, each of which impedes the movement of radionuclides into the accessible environment. The proposed repository would be in the unsaturated zone in Tertiary tuffaceous rocks. The principal transporting mechanism for radionuclides is moving ground water. Underlying the repository is an extensive Lower Carbonate Aquifer known to be highly permeable. Inyo County, as an affected unit of local government under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended, is concerned with the connections between the Lower Carbonate Aquifer underlying Yucca Mountain and the carbonate sources of waters in Inyo County, especially the Death Valley region. This report is a summary of the investigations conducted by Inyo County’s consultants, the Hydrodynamics Group, during calendar year 1998. This report presents the results of The Hydrodynamics Group’s 1998 collection of water samples from 23 springs and 2 creeks in Death Valley.

The 2,500 square miles included in the monument embrace Death Val­ ley itself and parts of the rough-hewn mountains that rise abruptly on all sides to guard its colorful desolation. The Amargosa River provides the only natural entrance. To the west towers the Panamint Range and to the east the Amargosas, with the Last Chance Range pinching the north and the Avawatz Mountains blocking the south. Death Valley National Monument lies in the southeastern corner of Inyo County and borders the California-Nevada boundary line. It forms the northern point of the great Mojave Desert region. Approximately 400 square miles of the floor of the valley lie below sea level, and Bad Water, 276 feet below mean tide, is the lowest point in the United States.

This report presents the results of research conducted within this cooperative agreement in the context of Inyo County's Yucca Mountain oversight program goals and objectives. The Hydrodynamics Group, LLC prepared this report for Inyo County Yucca Mountain repository Assessment Office. The overall goal of Inyo County's Yucca Mountain research program is the evaluation of far-field issues related to potential transport, by ground water, of radionuclide into Inyo County, including Death Valley, and the evaluation of a connection between the Lower Carbonate Aquifer (LCA) and the biosphere. Data collected within the cooperative agreement is included in interpretive illustrations and discussions of the results of our analysis. The central element's of this Cooperative Agreement program was the drilling of exploratory wells, analysis of geochemical data, geophysical surveys, and geological mapping of the Southern Funeral Mountain Range. The culmination of this research was two numerical ground water models of the Southern Funeral Mountain Range and Yucca Mountain region demonstrating the potential of a hydraulic connection between the LCA and the major springs in the Furnace Creek area of Death Valley. 1.0 Introduction The focus of the investigations by the Hydrodynamics Group for Inyo County is to assemble the best possible data on the Paleozoic Carbonate Aquifer, and then to use that data to assess the likelihood of contaminant transport from the planned Yucca Mountain high-level nuclear waste repository to the biosphere in Inyo County.
