Luminescence, charcoal abundance, and radiocarbon data for: Geochronologic data reveal late Pleistocene to Holocene debris-flow history and wildfire association within Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Klamath Mountains, northern California
August 18, 2025
This report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits sampled by the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey and analyzed at the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory. Within this report, we detail the luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We recommend that this report be included as the supplementary material for any publication (s) that use the ages within this report.

Understanding the local to regional history of extreme events such as debris flows and floods provides context to plan for and mitigate these hazards to life, property, and infrastructure. The Klamath Mountains of northwestern California have experienced both debris flows and devastating wildfires. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (WHIS) is at the heart of this range and has a wealth...
