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

A 16-year record of eolian dust in Southern Nevada and California, USA: Controls on dust generation and accumulation A 16-year record of eolian dust in Southern Nevada and California, USA: Controls on dust generation and accumulation
An ongoing project monitors modern dust accumulation in the arid southwestern United States to (1) determine the rate and composition of dust inputs to soils and (2) relate dust accumulation to weather patterns to help predict the effects of climate change on dust production and accumulation. The 16-year records of 35 dust-trap sites in the eastern Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin...

Temporal variations in slip rate of the White Mountain Fault Zone, Eastern California Temporal variations in slip rate of the White Mountain Fault Zone, Eastern California
The evolution of fault slip through time may yield insight into the geodynamics of deforming lithosphere. Precise determination of temporal variations in fault slip is often hindered, however, by a dearth of markers of varying age from which to reconstruct fault slip. Here we determine slip rates across the White Mountain Fault Zone over the past ca. 0.8??Ma from displaced alluvial...

Composition of aeolian dust in natural traps on isolated surfaces of the central Mojave Desert - Insights to mixing, sources, and nutrient inputs Composition of aeolian dust in natural traps on isolated surfaces of the central Mojave Desert - Insights to mixing, sources, and nutrient inputs
The recognition and characterization of aeolian dust in soil contribute to a better understanding of landscape and ecosystem dynamics of drylands. Results of this study show that recently deposited dust, sampled in isolated, mostly high-ground settings, is chemically and mineralogically similar on varied geologic substrates over a large area (15 000 km2) in the Mojave Desert. The silt...

Surficial deposits in the Bear Lake Basin Surficial deposits in the Bear Lake Basin
Mapping and dating of surficial deposits in the Bear Lake drainage basin were undertaken to provide a geologic context for interpretation of cores taken from deposits beneath Bear Lake, which sometimes receives water and sediment from the glaciated Bear River and sometimes only from the small drainage basin of Bear Lake itself. Analyses of core sediments by others are directed at (1)...
