The Mr. Peat Pit site consists of widespread peat and localized tufa in the latest Pleistocene paleovalley on piedmont east of Rio Grande in south central Colorado. A sample of black-mat type peat and a sample of the overlying spring-mound tufa from the pit initially were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. An additional tufa sample and...

Late-Wisconsin Event in the Upper Cook Inlet Region, Southcentral Alaska (1995)
The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) presents Short Notes on Alaska Geology 1995, the ninth issue in this series. There are ten papers, two each in Quaternary geology, structural geology, stratigraphy-sedimentology, and paleontology, and one each in economic geology and geochemistry. Almost all geographic regions of the State are represented. Overall, they reflect the wide range of subjects and broad geographic distribution of current geologic research in...

RADIOCARBON DATES FOR MARSH DEPOSITS FROM GC 21 AND GC 23, TOLAY CREEK, CALIFORNIA (2010)
Three samples from cores in a marshy area adjacent to Tolay Creek, California, were submitted for radiocarbon dating. Botanic components of the peat and marsh deposits were separated, then submitted for AMS dating. Three radiocarbon dates were obtained.
Recent Applications of Micromorphology to Cultural Resources Management in the Pacific Northwest (2015)
Solving geoarchaeological questions in a cultural resources management (CRM) context can be difficult due to time and budget constraints. In the Pacific Northwest, however, recent projects have fortunately allowed for some micromorphological analyses. Paul Goldberg has championed micromorphology as a valuable geoarchaeological method over the past three decades. The micromorphological analysis of shell middens, peat deposits, and alluvial sediment in and around the Seattle, WA area has elevated...
Summary of Quaternary Geology of the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska (1999)
This report discusses the quaternary geology of the Upper Cook Inlet region which is dominated by deposits of glacier retreats that followed repeated advances from both adjacent and more distant mountains. At several levels high on the mountains, there are remnant glacial deposits and other features of middle or older Pleistocene age.
