The Eagle River meltwater channel and braid delta record overflow from the Bonnet Plume Basin caused by the achievement of the maximum position of the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet in the late Pleistocene. This thesis examines landforms and deposits associated with spillway drainage along the Eagle River and subsequent fine-grained deposition in the Bell Basin. A process-depositional model for flood channel evolution was applied successfully to predict and characterize erosional and depositional features related to sudden, short-lived, high-energy flooding along the Eagle River. Braid delta sedimentation within the meltwater channel is crudely-coarsening upward and contains no evidence for a significant hiatus...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete.
