| Notes | This doctoral dissertation begins by examining the question of dating past landslides in the Oregon Coast Range. Although it is assumed that the famous earthquake of 1700 C.E. caused many landslides, no landslide has been definitely dated to that event. The author examines two coastal lakes formed by landslides, Wasson and Klickitat Lakes, and using Carbon14 dating and evidence from tree rings, dates them to the winters of 1819/1820 and 1751/1752, respectively. He also dates other landslides to major precipitation events. The dissertation ends with a look at stream networks and the phenomenon of streams being captured by neighboring basins. |
