  • Transient Channel Incision Along Bolinas Ridge, California: Evidence for Differential Rock Uplift Adjacent to the San Andreas Fa
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, F03S07, doi:10.1029/2006JF000559, 2007 Click Here for Full Article Transient channel incision along Bolinas Ridge, California: Evidence for differential rock uplift adjacent to the San Andreas fault Eric Kirby,1 Courtney Johnson,1 Kevin Furlong,1 and Arjun Heimsath2 Received 11 May 2006; revised 24 August 2006; accepted 16 October 2006; published 1 March 2007. [1] The rates and spatial distribution of active deformation provide critical constraints on the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere, yet such data are often difficult to acquire in eroding landscapes where poor preservation of geomorphic or stratigraphic markers hinders strain reconstruction. Recent advances in understanding of the relationship between bedrock channel profile form and erosion rate have led to their use as an index of rock uplift rate in steady state landscapes. Here we extend this analysis to landscapes experiencing a transient increase in erosion rate using an example from the Marin County region of northern California. We characterize channel and hillslope gradients in a series of small watersheds along a monolithologic portion of the Franciscan terrane in Marin County. Channel steepness indices vary strongly from north to south along the ridge and correspond with the progressive development of relief on threshold hillslopes along valley walls. These patterns argue that recent channel incision has engendered a transient adjustment of hillslope gradient, as incision outpaces soil production rates. These differences in landscape form and inferred incision rate are explained by differential rock uplift within the region east of the San Andreas fault. Relationships between channel gradient and incision rate suggest a threefold to fivefold difference in incision rate across the region and place a minimum bound on differential rock uplift rates.

  • Classification of the Vegetation of Point Reyes National Seashore Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Samuel P
    Classification of the Vegetation of Point Reyes National Seashore Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Samuel P. Taylor, Mount Tamalpais, and Tomales State Parks, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, California Association for Biodiversity Information In Cooperation with The California Native Plant Society and California Heritage Program Wildlife and Habitat Data Analysis Branch California Department of Fish and Game 1307 R Street, Room 202 Sacramento, CA 95814 Revised June 2003 ABSTRACT: The National Park Service (NPS), in conjunction with the Biological Resources Division (BRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has implemented a program to "develop a uniform hierarchical vegetation methodology" at a national level. The program will also create a geographic information system (GIS) database for the parks under its management. The purpose of the data is to document the state of vegetation within the NPS service area during the 1990's, thereby providing a baseline study for further analysis at the Regional or Service - wide level. The vegetation units of this map were determined through stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs supported by field sampling and ecological analysis. The vegetation boundaries were identified on the photographs by means of the photographic signatures and collateral information on slope, hydrology, geography, and vegetation in accordance with the Standardized National Vegetation Classification System (October 1995). The mapped vegetation reflects conditions that existed during the specific years and seasons that the aerial photographs were taken. Several sets of aerial photography were utilized for this project: 1) NOAA 1:24,000 March 1994 Natural Color Prints (Leaf Off) covering Point Reyes NS, the northern portion and southern coastal portions of Golden Gate NRA, and the western two thirds of Mt.
