Marith Reheis
My entire post-graduate career has been in the USGS in Denver, migrating from Conservation to Geologic Division early on, and then residing in the evolving branches of Regional Geology -- Environmental Geology -- Climate Change -- Earth Surface Processes Team. In parallel, my career has evolved through bedrock and surficial mapping, soil studies, neotectonics, desert dust sampling and a

Late Quaternary sedimentation on the Leidy Creek fan, Nevada–California: Geomorphic responses to climate change Late Quaternary sedimentation on the Leidy Creek fan, Nevada–California: Geomorphic responses to climate change
Well-dated surface and subsurface deposits in semiarid Fish Lake Valley, Nevada and California, demonstrate that alluvial-fan deposition is strongly associated with the warm dry climate of the last two interglacial intervals, and that fans were stable and (or) incised during the last glaciation. Fan deposition was probably triggered by a change from relatively moist to arid conditions...

Kinematics of the Eastern California shear zone: Evidence for slip transfer from Owens and Saline Valley fault zones to Fish Lake Valley fault zone Kinematics of the Eastern California shear zone: Evidence for slip transfer from Owens and Saline Valley fault zones to Fish Lake Valley fault zone
Late Quaternary slip rates and satellite-based geodetic data for the western Great Basin constrain regional fault-slip distribution and evolution. The geologic slip rate on the Fish Lake Valley fault zone (the northwest extension of the Furnace Creek fault zone) increases northward from about 3 to 5 mm/yr, in agreement with modeled geodetic data. The increase coincides with the...

Dust deposition in southern Nevada and California, 1984–1989: Relations to climate, source area, and source lithology Dust deposition in southern Nevada and California, 1984–1989: Relations to climate, source area, and source lithology
Dust samples collected annually for 5 years from 55 sites in southern Nevada and California provide the first regional source of information on modern rates of dust deposition, grain size, and mineralogical and chemical composition relative to climate and to type and lithology of dust source. The average silt and clay flux (rate of deposition) in southern Nevada and southeastern...

Quaternary soils and dust deposition in southern Nevada and California Quaternary soils and dust deposition in southern Nevada and California
Eolian dust constitutes much of the pedogenic material in late Pleistocene and Holocene soils of many arid regions of the world. Comparison of the compositions and influx rates of modern dust with the eolian component of dated soils at 24 sites in southern Nevada and California yields information on (1) the composition and influx rate of dust in late Pleistocene and Holocene soils, (2)
