A late Pleistocene paleohydrologic record of Sierra Nevada runoff from Owens Lake, California [abstract]

EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT):A 323-meter (about 800,000 year) core of lake deposits beneath Owens Lake playa, Inyo County, California, contains a nearly continuous paleolimnological record based on diatom assemblages. ... Throughout most of its history, Owens Lake was characterized by freshwater diatoms, indicating a positive hydrologic input from the Owens River and overflow to lake systems downstream.
