DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.07.017
Abstract: Abstract Petrographic and geostatistical analysis of linear dune forms on the Hanford Site, south-central Washington, have resulted in data supporting reinterpretation of depositional environments from eolian to primary glaciofluvial with post-depositional eolian modification. Miocene basalt… read more here.
