Afton Canyon
| 
"Norms Nook," a slot canyon tributary to Afton Canyon | This slot canyon shows the rapid incision that has occurred since Afton Canyon formed. This tributary has incised in response to the rapidly lowered base level of Afton Canyon. Vertical incision occurred first, and the meandering of the stream from side to side is responsible for the overhangs. When the stream reaches a reasonable longitudinal gradient, a significant widening of the channel develops. Eventually the overhangs break off and the channel walls become vertical (Reynolds & Reynolds, 2000).

Mojave Valley

Field trip discussion of the Miocene Barstow Basin. | Small hill capped by resistant silicified algal limestone (MSL). The algal mats preserved here are the deep water facies of the MSL marker unit.

Agriculture in the Central Mojave. | This photograph looks east from Harvard Hill across the Mojave River to the Cady Mountains. The large green circle is one of several alfalfa fields in this area. Ground water is pumped into huge sprinkler systems to irrigate the alfalfa. The combination of soil disturbance and declining water tables has destabilized the landscape resulting in increased sand movement and dust storms that have been blamed for fatal highway accidents. The cars and people are participating in the 2002 Desert Research Symposium field trip and are here in Harvard Hill to review marker beds in the Miocene Barstow Formation..

Who is this guy? Why does he keep showing up in my Mojave Desert photos? | At Field Trip Stop 1-1, we are looking at mid-Pleistocene Lake Manix. Here tufa was deposited by blue-green algae on alluvial fan deposits in clear water. (The person in the photograph is Bob Reynolds, leader of the field trip, and prime instigator of the annual Desert Research Symposium.)
