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...
This part of the data release contains sediment grain-size data for samples collected in eastern Chuckwalla Valley, Riverside County, California, in 2019 and 2020. Surface and sub-surface samples were analyzed for particle size in support of efforts to characterize landscape processes in areas permitted for future solar-energy development. These data accompany East and others (2021).
