of late

The lower Mississippi valley (LMV)
contains many large braided channel belts that are preserved west of
the Holocene floodplain. Previous efforts to establish geochronologic
control on channel-belt construction have been hindered by the lack of
organic material for radiocarbon dating. Luminescence techniques
provide a burial date for the sediment itself and may prove useful in
this context. Samples from three channel belts in the northern LMV were
analyzed using the single aliquot-regenerative technique on 90–125

"The Incision History of a Passive Margin River, the Potomac Near Great Falls" Great Falls Park, Great Falls, VA-MD |
This
field trip
will focus on the ages of bedrock strath terraces bordering the
Potomac River above and below Great Falls. Recent cosmogenic exposure
dating shows that the Potomac incised rapidly into Piedmont crystalline
bedrock during the Last Glacial Maximum. Incision of more than
20m
occured after 35ka to form Mather Gorge, a spectacular geomorphic
feature in an unglaciated basin in a passive >margin setting.
The
geomorphology of the Potomac and factors that contributed to this rapid
channel adjustment will be discussed. Guidebook: http://geology.er.usgs.gov/eespteam/SEFOP/Potomac%20Guidebook.pdf or http://www.geo.wvu.edu/~kite/Potomac%20Guidebook.pdf Reusser,
