Gray, H.J., and East, A.E., 2021, Luminescence, weather, and grain-size data from eastern Chuckwalla Valley, Riverside County, California: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9LZ02E4.

Summary

This data release contains luminescence, weather, and sediment grain-size data from eastern Chuckwalla Valley, Riverside County, California. This study investigates sedimentary and geomorphic processes in eastern Chuckwalla Valley, Riverside County, California, a region of arid, basin-and-range terrain where extensive solar-energy development is planned. The objectives were to (1) measure local weather parameters and use them to model aeolian sediment transport potential; (2) identify surface sedimentary characteristics in representative localities; and (3) evaluate longer-term landscape evolution rates and processes by analyzing stratigraphy in combination with luminescence geochronology. These data accompany East and others (2021). [...]
