- Summary:
- Prepared for the May 2011 GSA meeting of the Rocky Mountain and Cordilleran divisions, this field trip guide provides driving directions for viewing Pleistocene glacial and pluvial records in northeastern Nevada, arc terranes in the Blue Mountains, and middle Eocene rock formations in the Green River and Uinta basins. The nine papers also examine contrasting lines of evidence on Cenozoic extensional deformation in northeastern Nevada, review the Neogene drainage history of Idaho, and describe the Bonneville flood. Color maps and b&w photographs are provided but no index. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
