Buried, historic, hydric soils—common across U.S. mid‐Atlantic valley bottoms beneath legacy sediments—are not included in most floodplain restoration designs, though they may retain favorable biogeochemical characteristics and host legacy microbial communities that could support ecosystem recovery if exhumed and preserved. To assess the efficacy of including historic hydric soils in floodplain restoration for nitrogen (N) removal, we characterized pre‐Euro‐American settlement wetland soils buried below legacy sediments and now exposed along incised streambanks across the mid‐Atlantic. We compared carbon (C) and N contents; C:N ratios; nitrate‐N and ammonium‐N concentrations; denitrification rates; functional genes for denitrification (nosZ) and nitrification (amoA for ammonia oxidizing archaea [AoA] + ammonia oxidizing bacteria [AoB]); and phospholipid fatty acid biomasses of historic wetland soils with contemporary wetland soils before and after an 1‐year incubation in a recently restored floodplain. Compared to modern wetland soils, historic hydric soils buried by legacy sediment are less nutrient‐rich, have fewer functional genes for and lower rates of denitrification, and possess significantly less microbial biomass. Following the 1‐year incubation, many of these concentrations, rates, and gene counts increased in historic soils, though not substantially. Ultimately, our results suggest that while inclusion of historic, hydric soils and their legacy microbiomes is valuable for N‐removal in floodplain restoration, the recovery of historic, hydric soils is predictably slow, and attainment of restoration goals, such as increased denitrification, may require multiple years.}, journal={RESTORATION ECOLOGY}, author={Peck, Erin K. and Inamdar, Shreeram and Kan, Jinjun and Peipoch, Marc and Gold, Arthur J. and Merritts, Dorothy J. and Walter, Robert C. and Hyland, Ethan G. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Yaculak, Alexis M. and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Dec} } @article{schrum_jameson_tateosian_blank_wegmann_nelson_2023, title={Curvature Weighted Decimation: A Novel, Curvature-Based Approach to Improved Lidar Point Decimation of Terrain Surfaces}, volume={3}, ISSN={2673-7418}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/geomatics3010015}, DOI={10.3390/geomatics3010015}, abstractNote={Increased availability of QL1/QL2 Lidar terrain data has resulted in large datasets, often including large quantities of redundant points. Because of these large memory requirements, practitioners often use decimation to reduce the number of points used to create models. This paper introduces a novel approach to improve decimation, thereby reducing the total count of ground points in a Lidar dataset while retaining more accuracy than Random Decimation. This reduction improves efficiency of downstream processes while maintaining output quality nearer to the undecimated dataset. Points are selected for retention based on their discrete curvature values computed from the mesh geometry of the TIN model of the points. Points with higher curvature values are preferred for retention in the resulting point cloud. We call this technique Curvature Weighted Decimation (CWD). We implement CWD in a new free, open-source software tool, CogoDN, which is also introduced in this paper. We evaluate the effectiveness of CWD against Random Decimation by comparing the resulting introduced error values for the two kinds of decimation over multiple decimation percentages, multiple statistical types, and multiple terrain types. The results show that CWD reduces introduced error values over Random Decimation when 15 to 50% of the points are retained.}, number={1}, journal={Geomatics}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Schrum, Paul T., Jr. and Jameson, Carter D. and Tateosian, Laura G. and Blank, Gary B. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Nelson, Stacy A.

Today, the Altai Mountains cast a substantial rain shadow, effectively separating the western Gobi Desert and steppe from the Siberian Taiga. We take advantage of this stark climatic gradient to trace the interaction of climate and topography in the lee of the Altai. First, we present new water stable isotope data that demonstrate that—along with this climatic gradient—the Altai modify the δ18O of precipitation via rainout on the leeward side of the range. Second, we present a new paleosol carbonate clumped isotope (Δ47) record that spans much of the Neogene from the immediate lee of the Altai in western Mongolia to address how surface temperatures may have responded to potential uplift during the Neogene. We find that Δ47-derived temperatures have, overall, declined by approximately 7 °C over the course of the Neogene, though the precise timing of this decrease remains uncertain. Third, we pair our Δ47 record with previously published stable isotope data to demonstrate that the timing of decreasing temperatures corresponds with long-term stability in paleosol carbonate δ13C values. In contrast, increases in paleosol carbonate δ13C values—linked to declining vegetation productivity—are correlated with intervals of increasing temperatures. We speculate that declines in vegetation biomass and leaf area changed the partitioning of latent and sensible heat, resulting in rising surface temperatures during Altai uplift. In contrast, long-term Neogene cooling drove the overall decline in surface temperatures. Reconstructed soil water δ18O values (based on carbonate δ18O and Δ47 values) remain surprisingly stable over our Neogene record, differing from our expectation of decreasing δ18O values due to progressive uplift of the Altai Mountains and Neogene cooling. We demonstrate that the shift in precipitation seasonality that likely accompanied Altai uplift obscured any change in lee-side precipitation δ18O that would be expected from surface elevation change alone.}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE}, author={Rugenstein, Jeremy K.

For example, in the Khangay Mountains of central Mongolia, late Cenozoic valley-conforming lava flows preserve “snapshots” of hillslope weathering regimes in the headwaters of the Selenga-Baikal depositional system during the consequential climate transition from the late Miocene (ca. 12 Ma) into the Quaternary. This research aims to characterize the relative importance of chemical and physical weathering to landscape development in this upland intracontinental setting through an investigation of geochemical major and minor trace elemental composition of well-developed paleosols formed in metasediments (middle Orkhon), granite (upper Orkhon), and Miocene fluvial deposits (upper Chuluut) preserved beneath basaltic lavas at 11.9, 7.5 and 3.1 Ma, respectively. We used the Chemical Index of alteration (CIA), Plagioclase Index of Alteration (PIA), and Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW) to derive an integrated paleoclimate regime from the three lava flow-buried paleosol locations. Results reveal that from the late Miocene into the Pliocene, the climate was warmer and slightly more humid than today in the upland continental interior of west-central Mongolia.

The impact of Quaternary climate cycles on denudation as well as fluvial aggradation and incision is debated, especially in regions that did not experience glaciation. Here we present a record of paleo-denudation rates, and geochronologic data constraining aggradation and incision from the Sfakia and Elafonisi alluvial sequences on the island of Crete, Greece. We report seven new optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and ten new radiocarbon ages, as well as eight 10Be and eight 36Cl denudation rates from modern and terrace sediments. At the Elafonisi fan system, we identify four periods of aggradation, where marine isotope stages (MIS) 2, 4, and likely 6 correspond to aggradation periods, and MIS 1, 3, and likely 5e are characterized by incision. The dating of paleoshorelines indicates constant uplift over the past 71 ka, at rates of 1.2 mm/a. Aggradation occurred throughout the entire glacial cycle at the Sfakia fan, followed by up to 50 m of incision in the past 10 ka. Chronological constraints indicate that aggradation rates were particularly high during MIS 2 and 4, analogous to the Elafonisi fan system. However, our paleo-denudation rates indicate mostly constant denudation throughout the past 80 ka; with only two samples indicating an up to 50% increase in paleo-denudation rates compared to modern rates. Nearby climate and vegetation records show that MIS 2, 4, and 6 were characterized by cold and dry climate with sparse vegetation, whereas forest cover and wet conditions prevailed during MIS 1, 3, and 5. Our data suggest that variations in climate and vegetation cover were not sufficient to markedly alter landscape-wide denudation rates, but that changes in hydroclimate and vegetation exerted a strong control on the aggradation-incision behavior of the drainages. During relatively cold stages, low vegetation cover and river sediment transport capacity led to aggradation, whereas the increased river transport capacity during relatively warm stages caused subsequent incision. We therefore hypothesize that the studied catchments show a decoupling between transport-limited streams responding to climate forcing and near-steady hillslope denudation.

This study used a Maxent machine-learning predictive model to create targeted flight areas to monitor Geum radiatum, an endangered plant endemic to the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina.

Publicly accessible multi-spectral datasets (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel-2) are particularly helpful in analyzing the spatial extent of disturbances, however, the datasets are large and require intensive processing on high-powered computers by trained analysts. HazMapper is an open-access hazard mapping application developed in Google Earth Engine that allows users to derive map and GIS-based products from Sentinel or Landsat datasets without the time- and cost-intensive resources required for traditional analysis. The first iteration of HazMapper relies on a vegetation-based metric, the relative difference in the normalized difference vegetation index (rdNDVI), to identify areas on the landscape where vegetation was removed following a natural disaster. Because of the vegetation-based metric, the tool is typically not suitable for use in desert or polar regions. HazMapper is not a semi-automated routine but makes rapid and repeatable analysis and visualization feasible for both recent and historical natural disasters. Case studies are included for the identification of landslides and debris flows, wildfires, pyroclastic flows, and lava flow inundation.

Here, we contribute to this topic through a detailed field, geochronological, and numerical modelling investigation of thick (>50 m) alluvial sequences in the Klados catchment in southwestern Crete, Greece. The Klados River catchment lies in a Mediterranean climate, is largely floored by carbonate bedrock, and is characterised by well-preserved alluvial terraces and inset fans at the river mouth that exceed the volumes of alluvial deposits in neighbouring catchments of similar size. Previous studies interpreted the genesis and evolution of these deposits to result from a combination of Pleistocene sea-level variation and the region's long-term tectonic activity. We show that the >20 m thick lower fan unit, previously thought to be late Pleistocene in age, unconformably buries a paleoshoreline uplifted in the first centuries CE, placing the depositional age of this unit firmly in the late Holocene. The depositional timing is supported by seven new radiocarbon dates that indicate middle to late Holocene ages for the entire fan and terrace sequence. Furthermore, we report new evidence of a previously unidentified valley-filling landslide deposit that is locally 100 m above the modern stream elevation, and based on cross-cutting relationships, it predates the alluvial sequence. Observations indicate the highly erodible landslide deposit as the source of the alluvial fill sediment. We identify the likely landslide detachment area as a large rockfall scar at the steepened head of the catchment. A landslide volume of 9.08×107 m3 is estimated based on volume reconstructions of the mapped landslide deposit and the inferred scar location. We utilise landslide runout modelling to validate the hypothesis that a high-magnitude rockfall would pulverise and send material downstream, filling the valley up to ∼100 m. This partial liquefaction is required for the rockfall to form a landslide body of the extent observed in the valley and is consistent with the sedimentological characteristics of the landslide deposit. Based on the new age control and the identification of the landslide deposit, we hypothesise that the rapid post-landslide aggradation and incision cycles of the alluvial deposits are not linked to long-term tectonic uplift or climate variations but rather stochastic events such as mobilisation of sediment in large earthquakes, storm events, or ephemeral blockage in the valley's narrow reaches. The Klados case study represents a model environment for how stochastically driven events can mimic climate-induced sedimentary archives and lead to deposition of thick alluvial sequences within hundreds to thousands of years, and it illustrates the ultrasensitivity of mountainous catchments to external perturbations after catastrophic events. }, number={4}, journal={EARTH SURFACE DYNAMICS}, author={Bruni, Elena T. and Ott, Richard F. and Picotti, Vincenzo and Haghipour, Negar and Wegmann, Karl W. and Gallen, Sean F.}, year={2021}, month={Jul}, pages={771–793} } @article{bruni_ott_picotti_haghipour_wegmann_gallen_2021, title={Supplementary material to "Stochastic alluvial fan and terrace formation triggered by a high-magnitude Holocene landslide in the Klados Gorge, Crete"}, volume={2}, url={https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2021-4-supplement}, DOI={10.5194/esurf-2021-4-supplement}, abstractNote={different software programs are available.One of them is Dynamic Analysis 3D (DAN3D) presented by McDougall & Hungr (2004).In DAN3D, a frictional model defines material behaviour using the meshless}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Bruni, Elena T. and Ott, Richard F. and Picotti, Vincenzo and Haghipour, Negar and Wegmann, Karl W. and Gallen, Sean F.}, year={2021}, month={Feb} } @article{kling_byrne_atkins_wegmann_2021, title={Tectonic Deformation and Volatile Loss in the Formation of Noctis Labyrinthus, Mars}, volume={126}, ISSN={["2169-9100"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JE006555}, DOI={10.1029/2020JE006555}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={11}, journal={JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-PLANETS}, publisher={American Geophysical Union (AGU)}, author={Kling, Corbin L. and Byrne, Paul K. and Atkins, Rachel M. and Wegmann, Karl W.}, year={2021}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{wegmann_de la calle_nixon_scheip_das_2021, place={Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu}, title={When a tropical storm goes to battle with an aseismic ridge: Landslide erosion caused by Cyclone Harold , APRIL 2020, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu}, volume={53}, url={https://doi.org/10.1130/abs/2021AM-370820}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2021AM-370820}, number={6}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, publisher={Geological Society of America}, author={Wegmann, K.W. and De La Calle, R.A. and Nixon, M.Z. and Scheip, C.M. and Das, R.}, year={2021} } @article{holcomb_runnels_wegmann_2020, title={Deposit-centered archaeological survey and the search for the Aegean Palaeolithic: A geoarchaeological perspective}, volume={550}, ISSN={["1873-4553"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2020.04.043}, DOI={10.1016/j.quaint.2020.04.043}, abstractNote={Recent archaeological discoveries from the Greek islands of Crete and Naxos point to the presence of hominins in the Aegean Basin beginning at least in the Middle Pleistocene (~200 ka), indicating that the region may have been an important dispersal route for hominins (including humans) entering southeastern Europe. Currently, archaeologists lack a clear understanding about where Palaeolithic sites should exist throughout the region. Consequently, archaeologists are hindered in their ability to construct the chronostratigraphic frameworks necessary to place the Aegean Palaeolithic into broader narratives of human biogeography until more buried and scientifically dated sites are found. Addressing this issue, we review one successful survey strategy that has proven effective in increasing the likelihood of discovering archaeological sites of Pleistocene age – namely, systematic geoarchaeologically informed research frameworks centered on targeting Pleistocene geologic deposits (soils and sediments). Such an approach has worked well on mainland Greece (and elsewhere) but has yet to be operationalized for application in the Greek islands. Here we review the approach and suggest that deposit-centered surveys can function in four phases of varying degrees of complexity and scale and can be implemented either independently or in tandem with traditional archaeological pedestrian surveys. We also review Quaternary deposits and their associated geomorphic settings that are likely to contain Palaeolithic artifacts to aid future deposit-centered surveys in the Greek islands. We conclude that future archaeologists should implement the approach to target depositional settings in near-shore coastal areas (e.g., alluvial fans with stratified Pleistocene-aged paleosols), sometimes identified by paleo-sea-level-indicators (sea notches, marine terraces, and aeolianites), such as those seen on, Antiparos, Kythera, Crete (northern and southern coasts), Karpathos, and Rhodes. Further, we argue that non-coastal geomorphic settings like internally-drained basins on Crete and Rhodes, similar to those on the mainland, should be systematically searched for Palaeolithic sites. The deposit-centered survey strategies reviewed here provide a means for archaeologists working in the Aegean Basin to predict high probability locations for Palaeolithic archaeological sites. This geoarchaeological approach can be used in similar geomorphic settings around the world and therefore has implications for filling geographic gaps in our understanding of hominin dispersals in the Pleistocene.}, journal={QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Holcomb, J.

Individual flood event layers are identified by combining core stratigraphy, sedimentology, and the ratio of incoherent to coherently scattered x-ray radiation ( inc/coh) from µXRF (x-ray fluorescence) core scans. The inc/coh time series is used as a proxy for sediment grain size and, in combination with radiocarbon-anchored core age–depth models, enables the reconstruction of late-Holocene hydrologic variability for the Quinault River catchment. Decadal to centennial variability in inc/coh is interpreted to reflect trends in ocean-atmosphere teleconnections favorable for the formation of land-falling atmospheric rivers along the Pacific Ocean flank of the Olympic Mountains. Such processes likely modulate the rate of flooding and may explain notable increases in the frequency of flood event layers observed during the periods 2350–2450 cal. yr BP and the most recent century (AD 1910–2010).

For example, slope breaks and knickpoints in rivers can be important in understanding tectonic processes, and riffle-pool structures are important drivers of riverine ecology. More precise data (e.g. lidar) are available in some areas, but their spatial extent limits large-scale research. The upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission is planned to launch in 2021 and will provide measurements of elevation and inundation extent of surface waters between 78° north and south latitude on average twice every 21 days. We present a novel noise reduction method for multitemporal river water surface elevation profiles from SWOT that combines a truncated singular value decomposition and a slope-constrained least-squares estimator. We use simulated SWOT data of 85-145 km sections of the Po, Sacramento, and Tanana Rivers to show that 3-12 months of simulated SWOT data can produce elevation profiles with mean absolute errors of 5.38-12.55 cm at 100-200 m along-stream resolution. Mean absolute errors can be reduced further to 4-11 cm by averaging all observations. The average profiles have errors much lower than existing DEMs, allowing new advances in riverine research globally. We consider two case studies in geomorphology and ecology that highlight the scientific value of the more accurate in-river DEMs expected from SWOT. Simulated SWOT elevation profiles for the Po reveal convexities in the river longitudinal profile that are spatially coincident with the upward projection of blind thrust faults that are buried beneath the Po Plain at the northern termination of the Apennine Mountains. Meanwhile, simulated SWOT data for the Sacramento River reveals locally steep sections of the river profile that represent important habitat for benthic invertebrates at a spatial scale previously unrecognizable in large-scale digital elevation models presently available for this river.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN EARTH SCIENCE}, author={Langhorst, Theodore and Payelskyl, Tamlin M. and Frasson, Renato Prata de Moraes and Wei, Rui and Domeneghetti, Alessio and Altenau, Elizabeth H. and Durand, Michael T. and Minear, J.

These geomorphic markers are useful on Crete and elsewhere in determining coastal uplift rates, the identification of active geologic structures, and to constrain geodynamic models and seismic hazards. Controversy exists in the literature regarding the formation mechanisms and age of late Pleistocene paleoshorelines on Crete that has led to competing models of the uplift history, tectonic evolution, and seismic hazards of the Hellenic forearc. We present new mapping and results from luminescence and radiocarbon geochronology of paleoshoreline deposits that constrain the spatial and temporal pattern of rock uplift around the Cretan coastline. Existing and new radiocarbon data are variable and show no obvious age-elevation trends within individual terrace sequences. By contrast, nearly all luminescence ages, some from shorelines dated with radiocarbon, show positive age-elevation trends and range from 60–220 ka suggesting that all dated paleoshorelines are beyond the limits of radiocarbon. We propose that the inconsistencies between the different geochronological methods are the result of secondary contamination of young carbonate, possibly from meteoric waters, that bias radiocarbon in Cretan Pleistocene marine fossils. Most luminescence ages closely correlate with the timing of mid-to-late Pleistocene relative sea level highstands, consistent with stratigraphic observations. Calculated coastal uplift rates using a Monte-Carlo error analysis range from ∼0–1.2 mm/yr; the lowest uplift rates are found along the northern and eastern coasts of the island, while the most rapid are focused along the southern and western coasts where active normal faults are observed offsetting paleoshoreline sequences. Based on this new data, we favor a tectonic model where slip along upper crustal normal faults acts to locally augment a steady regional signal of uplift along the south and west coast, interpreted to result from the deep underplating of rock at the base of the subduction wedge beneath Crete. Arcward of the contact between the upper plate Moho and the top of the subducting slab, crustal thinning will occur in the orogenic wedge resulting in subsidence along the north coast of Crete.}, journal={EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCE LETTERS}, author={Ott, Richard F. and Gallen, Sean F. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Biswas, Rabiul H. and Herman, Frederic and Willett, Sean D.}, year={2019}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{ott_gallen_ueda_wegmann_willett_2019, title={Reassessing Mediterranean tectonics and earthquake hazard from the 365 AD earthquake}, volume={21}, booktitle={Geophysical Research Abstracts}, author={Ott, R. and Gallen, S. and Ueda, K. and Wegmann, K. and Willett, S.}, year={2019}, pages={1} } @article{leithold_wegmann_bohnenstiehl_joyner_pollen_2019, title={Repeated megaturbidite deposition in Lake Crescent, Washington, USA, triggered by Holocene ruptures of the Lake Creek-Boundary Creek fault system}, volume={131}, ISSN={["1943-2674"]}, DOI={10.1130/B35076.1}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={11-12}, journal={GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA BULLETIN}, author={Leithold, Elana L. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Bohnenstiehl, D.

However, the relative importance of large earthquakes versus high magnitude precipitation events to the total volume of landslide material transported to valley bottoms remains unknown in part due to the absence of large historical earthquakes. To test the hypothesis that erosion is linked to precipitation, approximately 1000 landslides were mapped from Google Earth imagery between 1990 and 2015 along a ~ 15 km-wide × ~ 85 km-long (1250 km2) swath across the range. The volume of hillslope material moved by each slide was calculated using previously published area–volume scaling relationships, and the spatial distribution of landslide volume was compared to mean annual precipitation data acquired from the PRISM climate group for the period 1981–2010. Statistical analysis reveals a significant correlation (r = 0.55; p < 0.001) between total landslide volume and mean annual precipitation, with 98% of landslide volume occurring along the windward, high-precipitation side of the range during the 25-year interval. Normalized to area, this volume yields a basin-wide erosion rate of 0.28 ± 0.11 mm yr− 1, which is similar to previous time-variable estimates of erosion throughout the Olympic Mountains, including those from river sediment yield, cosmogenic 10Be, fluvial terrace incision, and thermochronometry. The lack of large historic earthquakes makes it difficult to assess the relative contributions of precipitation and seismic shaking to total erosion, but our results suggest that climate, and more specifically a sharp precipitation gradient, plays an important role in controlling erosion and landscape evolution over both short and long timescales across the Olympic Mountains.}, journal={Geomorphology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Smith, Stephen G. and Wegmann, Karl W.}, year={2018}, month={Jan}, pages={141–150} } @inproceedings{holcomb_wegmann_karkanas_fletcher_jenkins_2018, place={Oregon, USA}, title={Site formation processes at the Connley Caves: A record of environmental and cultural change during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene in the Fort Rock Basin, Oregon, USA}, volume={50}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2018AM-323064}, number={6}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, publisher={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, author={Holcomb, J.A. and Wegmann, K.W. and Karkanas, P. and Fletcher, B. and Jenkins, D.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{kling_byrne_wyrick_wegmann_2018, title={Spatial and temporal relationships between pit craters and graben within Noctis Labyrinthus, Mars}, volume={49}, booktitle={Lunar and Planetary Science Conference}, author={Kling, C.L. and Byrne, P.K. and Wyrick, D.Y. and Wegmann, K.W.}, year={2018} } @book{chesnutt_pawl_wegmann_cole_white_byrne_2018, place={Raleigh, NC}, title={Surficial and Bedrock Map of the 1:24,000-scale Mesa Lakes Quadrangle, Grand Mesa, Colorado}, url={https://go.ncsu.edu/grand-mesa-geo-project.}, institution={North Carolina State University}, author={Chesnutt, J.M. and Pawl, T. and Wegmann, K. and Cole, R. and White, J. and Byrne, P.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{strasser_panagopoulou_runnels_wegmann_2018, place={Ρέθυμνο}, title={The Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods on Crete: Chronostratigraphical evidence from the Plakias survey}, volume={A1.1}, booktitle={ΠΕΠΡΑΓΜΕΝΑ ΙΑ’ ́ ΔΙΕΘΝΟΥΣ ΚΡΗΤΟΛΟΓΙΚΟΥ ΣΥΝΕΔΡΙΟΥ}, publisher={ΤΜΗΜΑ ΑΡΧΑΙΟΛΟΓΙΚΟ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΛΑΟΓΡΑΦΙΚΗ ΕΤΑΙΡΕΙΑ ΡΕΘΥΜΝΗΣ}, author={Strasser, T.F. and Panagopoulou, E. and Runnels, C. and Wegmann, K.}, year={2018}, pages={123–133} } @inproceedings{caves rugenstein_sjostrom_mix_methner_wacker_bayshashov_zhamangara_lüdecke_mulch_fiebig_et al._2018, title={Tracking interactions of the westerly jet and topography: uplift of the Tian Shan and Altai}, volume={20}, booktitle={Geophysical Research Abstracts}, author={Caves Rugenstein, J.K. and Sjostrom, D.J. and Mix, H. and Methner, K. and Wacker, U. and Bayshashov, B.U. and Zhamangara, A. and Lüdecke, T. and Mulch, A. and Fiebig, J. and et al.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{leithold_wegmann_bohnenstiehl_2017, place={Washington}, title={A Holocene earthquake record from Lake Crescent, Olympic Peninsula, Washington}, volume={49}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2017am-300149}, number={6}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, publisher={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, author={Leithold, E.L. and Wegmann, K.W. and Bohnenstiehl, D.R.}, year={2017} } @inproceedings{bayasgalan_wegmann_fodor_amgalan_2017, title={Contrasting late Miocene to present landscape evolution across Mongolia's Khangay Mountains through the lens of chemical and physical weathering processes}, volume={49}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2017AM-302911}, number={6}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, author={Bayasgalan, G. and Wegmann, K.W. and Fodor, R.V. and Amgalan, Bayasgalan}, year={2017} } @inproceedings{stubblefield_byrne_wegmann_mitasova_kling_2017, title={Extensional tectonics at Alba Mons: A case study of regional and local stress fields}, volume={49}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2017am-307262}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, author={Stubblefield, R.K. and Byrne, P.K. and Wegmann, K.W. and Mitasova, H. and Kling, C.L.}, year={2017} } @article{morriss_wegmann_2017, title={Geomorphology of the Burnt River, eastern Oregon, USA: Topographic adjustments to tectonic and dynamic deformation}, volume={278}, ISSN={["1872-695X"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.geomorph.2016.09.015}, abstractNote={Eastern Oregon contains the deepest gorge in North America, where the Snake River cuts vertically down 2300 m. This deep gorge is known as Hells Canyon. A landscape containing such a topographic feature is likely undergoing relatively recent deformation. Study of the Burnt River, a tributary to the Snake River at the upstream end of Hells Canyon, yields data on active river incision in eastern Oregon, indicating that Quaternary faults are a first order control on regional landscape development. Through 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping, a 500,000-year record of fluvial incision along the Burnt River was constructed and is chronologically anchored by optically stimulated luminescence dating and tephrochronology analyses. A conceptual model of fluvial terrace formation was developed using these ages and likely applies to other non-glaciated catchments in eastern Oregon. Mapped terraces, inferred to have formed during glacial-interglacial cycles, provide constraints on rates of incision of the Burnt River. Incision through these terraces indicates that the Burnt River is down-cutting at 0.15 to 0.57 m kyr− 1. This incision appears to reflect a combination of local base-level adjustments tied to movement along the newly mapped Durkee fault and regional base-level control imposed by the downcutting of the Snake River. Deformation of terraces as young as 38.7 ± 5.1 ka indicates Quaternary activity along the Durkee fault, and when combined with topographic metrics (slope, relief, hypsometry, and stream-steepness), reveals a landscape in disequilibrium.

Topography is a reflection of the tectonic and geodynamic processes that act to uplift the Earth's surface and the erosional processes that work to return it to base level. Numerous studies have shown that topography is a sensitive recorder of tectonic signals. A quasi-physical understanding of the relationship between river incision and rock uplift has made the analysis of fluvial topography a popular technique for deciphering relative, and some argue absolute, histories of rock uplift. Here we present results from a study of the fluvial topography from south-central Crete, demonstrating that river longitudinal profiles indeed record the relative history of uplift, but several other processes make it difficult to recover quantitative uplift histories. Prior research demonstrates that the south-central coastline of Crete is bound by a large ( ∼  100 km long) E–W striking composite normal fault system. Marine terraces reveal that it is uplifting between 0.1 and 1.0 mm yr−1. These studies suggest that two normal fault systems, the offshore Ptolemy and onshore South-Central Crete faults, linked together in the recent geologic past (ca. 0.4–1 My BP). Fault mechanics predict that when adjacent faults link into a single fault the uplift rate in footwalls of the linkage zone will increase rapidly. We use this natural experiment to assess the response of river profiles to a temporal jump in uplift rate and to assess the applicability of the stream power incision model to this setting. Using river profile analysis we show that rivers in south-central Crete record the relative uplift history of fault growth and linkage as theory predicts that they should. Calibration of the commonly used stream power incision model shows that the slope exponent, n, is  ∼  0.5, contrary to most studies that find n  ≥  1. Analysis of fluvial knickpoints shows that migration distances are not proportional to upstream contributing drainage area, as predicted by the stream power incision model. Maps of the transformed stream distance variable, χ, indicate that drainage basin instability, drainage divide migration, and river capture events complicate river profile analysis in south-central Crete. Waterfalls are observed in southern Crete and appear to operate under less efficient and different incision mechanics than assumed by the stream power incision model. Drainage area exchange and waterfall formation are argued to obscure linkages between empirically derived metrics and quasi-physical descriptions of river incision, making it difficult to quantitatively interpret rock uplift histories from river profiles in this setting. Karst hydrology, break down of assumed drainage area discharge scaling, and chemical weathering might also contribute to the failure of the stream power incision model to adequately predict the behavior of the fluvial system in south-central Crete.}, number={1}, journal={EARTH SURFACE DYNAMICS}, publisher={Copernicus GmbH}, author={Gallen, Sean F. and Wegmann, Karl W.}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={161–186} } @article{leithold_wegmann_bohnenstiehl_smith_noren_o’grady_2017, title={Slope failures within and upstream of Lake Quinault, Washington, as uneven responses to Holocene earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone}, volume={89}, ISSN={0033-5894 1096-0287}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/QUA.2017.96}, DOI={10.1017/QUA.2017.96}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={Quaternary Research}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Leithold, Elana L. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Bohnenstiehl, Delwayne R. and Smith, Stephen G. and Noren, Anders and O’Grady, Ryan}, year={2017}, month={Nov}, pages={178–200} } @inproceedings{chesnutt_pawl_wegmann_cole_byrne_white_2017, place={Grand Mesa, Colorado}, title={Surficial, bedrock and geohazard map of the Mesa Lakes Quadrangle, Grand Mesa Colorado}, volume={49}, DOI={10.1130/abs/2017am-305117}, number={6}, booktitle={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, publisher={Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs}, author={Chesnutt, J.M. and Pawl, T.A. and Wegmann, K.W. and Cole, R.D. and Byrne, P.K. and White, J.L.}, year={2017} } @article{walker_wegmann_bayasgalan_carson_elliott_fox_nissen_sloan_williams_wright_2017, title={The Egiin Davaa prehistoric rupture, central Mongolia: a large magnitude normal faulting earthquake on a reactivated fault with little cumulative slip located in a slowly deforming intraplate setting}, volume={432}, ISSN={["0305-8719"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1144/sp432.4}, DOI={10.1144/sp432.4}, abstractNote={Abstract The prehistoric Egiin Davaa earthquake rupture is well-preserved in late Quaternary deposits within the Hangay Mountains of central Mongolia. The rupture is expressed by a semi-continuous 80 km-long topographic scarp. Geomorphological reconstructions reveal a relatively constant scarp height of 4–4.5 m and a NW-directed slip vector. Previous researchers have suggested that the scarp's exceptional geomorphological preservation indicates that it may correspond to an earthquake that occurred in the region c. 500 years ago. However, we constrain the last rupture to have been at least 4 ka ago from morphological dating and <7.4 ka ago based on radiocarbon dating from one of two palaeoseismic trenches. Our study shows that discrete earthquake ruptures, along with details such as the locations of partially infilled fissures, can be preserved for periods well in excess of 1000 years in the interior of Asia, providing an archive of fault movements that can be directly read from the Earth's surface over a timescale appropriate for the study of slowly deforming continental interiors. The Egiin Davaa rupture involved c. 8 m of slip which, along with the observations that it is largely unsegmented along its length and that the ratio of cumulative slip (c. 250 m) to fault length (c. 80 km) is small, suggests relatively recent reactivation of a pre-existing geological structure.

The time-dependent incision rates are a Sadler effect that have been argued to result from a stochastic distribution of hiatal intervals in river incision, potentially reducing the utility of incision records for interpreting unsteadiness in tectonic processes. Here we show that time-dependent incision rates can arise from a simple systematic bias in the distance measurement used to calculate incision rate, and thus stochastic causes are not required. We present a conceptual model that describes the dynamic history of streambed elevation over cycles of terrace formation, illustrating that measured incision rate is time dependent because the stream channel reference frame is not fixed with respect to the geoid. Because it is challenging to reconstruct the full elevation history for a river channel, most researchers use the modern streambed elevation as a reference datum, but we demonstrate that doing so imposes a bias that manifests as an apparent dependence of rate on measured time interval. Fortunately, correction of this bias is straightforward, and allows river incision data to be used in studies of tectonic or climatic unsteadiness.}, number={7}, journal={GEOLOGY}, author={Gallen, Sean F. and Pazzaglia, Frank J. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Pederson, Joel L. and Gardner, Thomas W.}, year={2015}, month={Jul}, pages={623–626} } @article{gallen_wegmann_bohnenstiehl_pazzaglia_brandon_fassoulas_2014, title={Active simultaneous uplift and margin-normal extension in a forearc high, Crete, Greece}, volume={398}, ISSN={["1385-013X"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.epsl.2014.04.038}, abstractNote={The island of Crete occupies a forearc high in the central Hellenic subduction zone and is characterized by sustained exhumation, surface uplift and extension.

Two competing hypotheses are commonly used to explain their modern topographic expression. One suggests that relief is largely controlled by variable lithologic resistance to weathering and that their modern form has long persisted in a dynamic equilibrium. The second postulates that their relief is a product of recent rejuvenation, driven either by climate change or the epeirogenic uplift of the land surface driven by mantle forcing. Within portions of the Cullasaja River basin of the southern Appalachians, we show that relief has increased by >150% since the Miocene. Evident within the basin are a set of retreating knickpoints that delineate a rugged, actively incising landscape from lower-relief relict topography. Constraints on the timing of knickpoint entry into the basin suggest that the process of landscape rejuvenation began well prior to the late Cenozoic (<4 myr) transition to a more oscillatory (glacial-interglacial) climate regime. Furthermore, the geomorphology of the Cullasaja River basin is difficult to reconcile in the context of a transition to a more erosive climatic regime but is consistent with an epeirogenically uplifted landscape. Consequently, these observations lend new support to the idea that the rugged topography of the southern Appalachians has developed in response to post-orogenic regional uplift in the Miocene.}, number={2}, journal={GSA Today}, author={Gallen, S.F. and Wegmann, K.W. and Bohnenstiehl, D.W.R.}, year={2013}, pages={4–10} } @article{starek_mitasova_wegmann_lyons_2013, title={Space-Time Cube Representation of Stream Bank Evolution Mapped by Terrestrial Laser Scanning}, volume={10}, ISSN={["1558-0571"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84886592528&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1109/lgrs.2013.2241730}, abstractNote={Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is utilized to monitor bank erosion along a stream that has incised through historic millpond (legacy) sediment.

European settlers began building water-powered milldams in the eastern United States in the 1600s, and dam construction continued until the early twentieth century. At the same time, regional-scale land clearing associated with agriculture and development increased upland erosion rates 50‐400 times above long-term geologic rates. Much of the eroded sediment was subsequently aggraded on fl and impounded behind milldams. This trapped “legacy” sediment, commonly mistaken for natural fl oodplain deposition, has gone largely unrecognized until recently. This study focuses upon 1st to 4th order streams in W.B. Umstead State Park that drain into the Neuse River basin. There are seven water-powered milldam locations within the park and adjacent areas. Geomorphic mapping demonstrates that upland soil erosion and valley bottom sediment aggradation was substantial following European-American land acquisition and their conversion of large amounts of forest land for agricultural purposes. We observe three distinct sedimentary units in stream bank exposures that are corroborated by 14 C dating. Pre-European sediments range from ca. 4400‐250 yr B.P. and consist of quartz-rich axial stream gravels and off-channel organic rich clays. Two legacy sediment units are differentiable; pre and post-dam, and range in age from ca. 300‐100 yr B.P. The pre-dam sediments consist primarily of flsands, and are interpreted as channel aggradation in response to soil erosion from upland land clearing prior to dam construction.

The fundamental processes responsible for landscape evolution in a post‐orogenic landscape remain enigmatic. The non‐glaciated Cullasaja River basin of south‐western North Carolina, with uniform lithology, frequent debris flows, and the availability of high‐resolution airborne lidar DEMs, is an ideal natural setting to study landscape evolution in a post‐orogenic landscape through the lens of hillslope–channel coupling. This investigation is limited to channels with upslope contributing areas >2.7 km2, a conservative estimate of the transition from fluvial to debris‐flow dominated channel processes. Values of normalized hypsometry, hypsometric integral, and mean slope vs elevation are used for 14 tributary basins and the Cullasaja basin as a whole to characterize landscape evolution following upstream knickpoint migration. Results highlight the existence of a transient spatial relationship between knickpoints present along the fluvial network of the Cullasaja basin and adjacent hillslopes. Metrics of topography (relief, slope gradient) and hillslope activity (landslide frequency) exhibit significant downstream increases below the current position of major knickpoints. The transient effect of knickpoint‐driven channel incision on basin hillslopes is captured by measuring the relief, mean slope steepness, and mass movement frequency of tributary basins and comparing these results with the distance from major knickpoints along the Cullasaja River. A conceptual model of area–elevation and slope distributions is presented that may be representative of post‐orogenic landscape evolution in analogous geologic settings. Importantly, the model explains how knickpoint migration and channel–hillslope coupling is an important factor in tectonically‐inactive (i.e. post‐orogenic) orogens for the maintenance of significant relief, steep slopes, and weathering‐limited hillslopes.

In this study we combine new field data from the Mojave (U.S.), Gobi (Mongolia) and Strzelecki (Australia) deserts that collectively support the hypothesis that meridional cracks (cracks with orientations not readily attributable to rock anisotropies or shape) in boulders or cobbles form due to tensile stresses caused by directional heating and cooling during the sun's daily transit. The new studies indicate that rock size, surface age, and latitude play important roles with respect to their influence on rock fracture. Rock size and pavement surface age exert an influence on the development of rock cracks as the average clast size of mature desert pavements may be at or below the threshold-clast size for thermal cracking of rocks. Latitude-controlled seasonal temperature variations play a key role, as demonstrated by: 1) tightly clustered mean resultant orientations that differ by latitude, as predicted in McFadden et al. (2005), and 2) very cold wintertime temperatures and strong diurnal gradients that may favor crack development in wintertime, given the likelihood for strong clast heating during early morning hours. The consistent evidence for meridional cracks in surfaces of diverse age and desert environments, climate, vegetation, and distance of clast transport indicate that directional insolation may play the key role in initially generating and propagating rock fractures, rather than a secondary role as implied in recent field and modeling studies of physical weathering in deserts.}, number={1-2}, journal={GEOMORPHOLOGY}, author={Eppes, Martha Cary and McFadden, Leslie D. and Wegmann, Karl W. and Scuderi, Louis A.}, year={2010}, month={Nov}, pages={97–108} } @book{wegmann_homburg_bohnenstiehl_bowman_windingstad_huber_2010, place={Tuscon, AZ}, title={Geomorphology of the City of Port Angeles Waterfront}, number={10-82}, institution={Statistical Research, Inc.}, author={Wegmann, K.W. and Homburg, J.A. and Bohnenstiehl, D.R. and Bowman, J.D. and Windingstad, J.D. and Huber, E.K.}, year={2010} } @article{frankel_wegmann_bayasgalan_carson_bader_adiya_bolor_durfey_otgonkhuu_sprajcar_et al._2010, title={Late Pleistocene slip rate of the Hoh Serh-Tsagaan Salaa fault system, Mongolian Altai and intracontinental deformation in central Asia}, volume={183}, ISSN={["1365-246X"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-78449252083&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1111/j.1365-246x.2010.04826.x}, abstractNote={SUMMARY The Mongolian Altai is an intracontinental oblique contractional orogen related to the far-field effects of the Indo-Asian collision. Global Positioning System (GPS) data suggest that ∼10–15 per cent of total Indo-Asia convergence is accommodated across this orogen. The Hoh Serh–Tsagaan Salaa fault system is one of several NNW–SSE-trending oblique contractional faults acting to partition strain and accommodate shortening and dextral shear in the Mongolian Altai. This fault zone displaces late Pleistocene alluvium along the southwest piedmont of the Hoh Serh range in western Mongolia. Along the central third of the fault zone, strain is partitioned onto two separate strands, one that accommodates nearly pure dextral shear and one that accommodates thrust motion. We determined late Pleistocene rates of deformation along each of the Hoh Serh–Tsagaan Salaa fault strands based on differential GPS surveys and cosmogenic nuclide 10Be geochronology. Combining the measured offsets and 10Be dates yields a minimum right-lateral slip rate of 0.9 +0.2/−0.1 mm a−1; the minimum shortening rate is 0.3 ± 0.1 mm a−1, with uplift of at least 0.1 ± 0.1 mm a−1. Resolving the shortening and dextral components of deformation yields a slip vector of 0.8 +0.2/−0.1 mm a−1 toward 336°. This long-term deformation vector is consistent with the short-term strain field determined by GPS in the region and indicates that ∼20 per cent of Indo-Asian deformation in the Mongolian Altai (∼2 per cent of the total Indo-Asia strain accumulation) occurs along the Hoh Serh–Tsagaan Salaa fault zone.

Our model, supported by terrace long profiles, correlation to Po foreland sediments, 15 new radiocarbon dates, and published numeric and relative stratigraphic ages, highlights how drainage basin substrate drives concurrent formation of strath terraces in the Bidente basin and fill terraces in the Musone basin. Quaternary climate change paces the formative geomorphic processes through unsteady discharges of water and sediment. In the weathering-limited setting represented by the Bidente basin, siliciclastic detritus carves broad strath surfaces during glacial climates that are preserved as terraces as the river incises during the transition to an interglacial climate. In contrast, the transport-limited and carbonate detritus dominated Musone basin sees valleys deeply buried by aggradation during glacial climates followed by river incision during the transition to an interglacial climate. Incision of these rivers over the past ∼1 million years has been both unsteady and non-uniform. These and all Po-Adriatic draining rivers are proximal to a base level defined by mean sea level and have little room for increasing their longitudinal profile concavities through incision, particularly in their lower reaches despite periodic glacio-eustatic drawdowns. As a result, the observed incision is best explained by rock uplift associated with active local fault or fold growth embedded in the actively thickening and uplifting Apennine foreland.}, number={1-2}, journal={QUATERNARY SCIENCE REVIEWS}, author={Wegmann, Karl W. and Pazzaglia, Frank J.}, year={2009}, month={Jan}, pages={137–165} } @phdthesis{wegmann_2008, place={Bethlehem, Pennsylvania}, title={Tectonic Geomorphology above Mediterranean Subduction Zones: Northeastern Apennines of Italy and Crete, Greece}, school={Lehigh University}, author={Wegmann, K.W.}, year={2008} } @inproceedings{bayasgalan_carson_jordon_wegmann_2007, title={Geology of the Hangay Nuruu, Central Mongolia}, ISBN={9781604238815}, booktitle={Twentieth Annual Keck Research Symposium in Geology Proceedings}, author={Bayasgalan, A. and Carson, R. and Jordon, B. and Wegmann, K.}, year={2007}, pages={2–9} } @article{wegmann_zurek_regalla_bilardello_wollenberg_kopczynski_ziemann_haight_apgar_zhao_et al._2007, title={Position of the Snake River watershed divide as an indicator of geodynamic processes in the greater Yellowstone region, western North America}, volume={3}, ISSN={["1553-040X"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-71849090379&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1130/GES00083.1}, abstractNote={Tectonic processes, fl exure due to crustal loading, and dynamic mantle fl ow each impart a unique imprint on topography and geomorphic responses over time scales of 104 to 10 6 yr. This paper explores the mobility of regional drainage divides as a key geomorphic metric that can distinguish between the various processes driving crustal deformation in the greater Yellowstone region of the northwestern United States. We propose a new analysis that quantifi es the differences between the location of the presentday drainage divide from divides synthetically generated from fi ltered topography to determine the relative impact of tectonic and dynamic mantle infl uences on landscape development. The greater Yellowstone region is an opportune location for this investigation because contrasting models have been proposed to explain the parabolic shape of elevated topography and active seismicity that outline the imprint of hypothesized hotspot activity. Drainage divides synthesized from topography fi ltered at 50, 100, and 150 km wavelengths within the greater Yellowstone region show that the locations of the actual and synthetic Snake River drainage divides are controlled by both dynamic and fl exural mechanisms in the eastern greater Yellowstone region, but by fl exural mechanisms only in the western greater Yellowstone region. The location of the actual divide deviates from its predicted position in the fi ltered topography where tectonic controls, such as active faults (e.g., Centennial and Teton faults), have uplifted large footwall blocks. Our results are consistent with the notion of a northeastward-propagating greater Yellow stone region topographic and seismic parabola, and suggest that Basin and Range extension follows from, rather than precedes, greater Yellowstone region dynamic topography. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that eastward migration of the Snake River drainage divide lags behind the continued northeastward propagation of high-standing topography associated with the Yellowstone geophysical anomaly by 1–2 m.y.}, number={4}, journal={GEOSPHERE}, author={Wegmann, Karl W. and Zurek, Brian D. and Regalla, Christine A. and Bilardello, Dario and Wollenberg, Jennifer L. and Kopczynski, Sarah E. and Ziemann, Joseph M. and Haight, Shannon L. and Apgar, Jeremy D. and Zhao, Cheng and et al.}, year={2007}, month={Aug}, pages={272–281} } @book{wegmann_2006, title={Digital landslide inventory for the Cowlitz County Urban Corridor, Washington}, institution={Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources}, author={Wegmann, K.

An important motivation for understanding orogenesis here, and throughout the Coast Range, is the concern about the relationship of active deformation to seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia subduction zone. There is also much interest in apportioning the nature of the deformation, whether cyclic or permanent, whether it involves mainly shortening parallel or normal to the margin, and how the deformation on the proversus retrowedge sides of the orogen compare. Pre-Holocene stratigraphy and structure provide the only records of suffi cient duration to separate long-term permanent deformation from earthquake-cycle elastic deformation. For this reason, active-tectonic studies have focused on deformation of Quaternary deposits and landforms, which are best preserved along the Pacifi c Coast and offshore on the continental shelf. At least four major glacial advances are recorded in the valley and coastal deposits along the western margin of the Olympic Peninsula. Both numeric and relative dating, including soils of these deposits, establish a stratigraphic anchor that is used to document the relationship between margin parallel and margin normal deformation in 38 F.J.

We have collected a large data set of numeric ages from these terraces that is used to elucidate the geomorphic, fluvial, active tectonic, and climatic processes that operate at Holocene spatial and temporal scales. Detailed field mapping reveals three prominent Holocene straths and their overlying terrace deposits. Terrace ages fall into three broad ranges: ca. 9000–11 000 yr B.P. (Qt4), 4000–8000 yr B.P. (Qt5), and 0–3000 yr B.P. (Qt6). Terrace deposit stratigraphy, sedimentology, and age distributions allow us to consider two alternative models for their genesis. The favored model states that the terrace ages are coincident with lateral incision of the Clearwater channel, emplacement of the terrace alluvium, and the carving of the straths. Vertical incision of the Clearwater channel was primarily relegated to the brief (∼1000 yr) intervals when we have no record of terraces. Alternatively, the straths were carved as the channel incised vertically during the brief time periods between dated terrace deposits, and the terrace ages record a subsequent long time of alluviation atop the straths and concomitant termination of vertical incision. In both models, we envision a Clearwater River channel at or near capacity with a temporally variable rate of both lateral and vertical incision. Small deviations from this at-capacity condition are driven by variations in the liberation and delivery of hillslope sediment to the channel. We consider several causes for variable hillslope sediment flux in this tectonically active setting including Holocene climate change and ground accelerations related to earthquakes. Holocene rates of vertical incision are reconstructed along nearly the entire Clearwater Valley from the wide distribution of dated terraces. Incision rates clearly increase upstream, mimicking a pattern documented for Pleistocene terraces in the same basin; however, the rates are 2–3 times those determined for the Pleistocene terraces. The faster Holocene incision rates may be interpreted in terms of an increase in the rates of rock uplift. However, we favor an alternative explanation in which the Holocene rates represent a channel rapidly reacquiring its stable, graded concavity following protracted periods of time in the Pleistocene when it could not accomplish any vertical incision into tectonically uplifted bedrock because the channel was raised above the bedrock valley bottom by climatically induced alluviation. These results illustrate how, even in tectonically active settings, representative rates of rock uplift inferred from studies of river incision should be integrated over at least one glacial-interglacial cycle.}, number={6}, journal={GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA BULLETIN}, author={Wegmann, KW and Pazzaglia, FJ}, year={2002}, month={Jun}, pages={731–744} } @misc{wegmann_2001, title={BOOK REVIEW: Hiking Washington’s Geology by Scott Babcock and Bob Carson}, volume={28}, number={3}, journal={Washington Geology}, author={Wegmann, K.W.}, year={2001}, pages={28} } @article{wegmann_walsh_2001, title={Landslide hazard mapping in Cowlitz County: a progress report}, volume={29}, number={1-2}, journal={Washington Geology}, author={Wegmann, K.
