Show Friday, September 19, 1997 Leaders: B. Bills, D. Currey, P. Hovingh, D. Madsen, J. Oviatt, and D. Sack Field Perspectives: Evidence of Drainage Changes in the Bonneville Basin ( Field Symposium) 7: 30 am Continental Breakfast Ballroom 8: 00 am Departure from University Park Hotel ( Breaks, lunch, and dinner included) A one- day field excursion through several subbasins of the Bonneville basin will provide opportunities to consider geoscience and bioscience evidence that is relevant to aquatic system history, and to discuss inferences regarding past hydrographic connections, biotic assemblages, hydrologic variables, and underlying climate change at regional to global scales. Included in the excursion will be the following localities and topics. • Great Salt Lake subbasin: Subbasin tectonics, paleodeltas, borehole stratigraphy • Puddle Valley subbasin: Lake Bonneville integration paleohydraulics • Great Salt Lake Desert subbasin: The big picture of Bonneville basin history • Lakeside area: Hydro- isostatic geodynamics, paleoecology of Homestead and Lakeside caves, biotherm paleolimnology • Rush Valley subbasin: Geomorphic forcing of aquatic system history • Cedar Valley subbasin: Hydrographic isolation- integration- isolation • Utah Lake Subbasin: Geodynamic forcing of aquatic system history |
