Abstract

[Pederson et al. (2013)][1] report new optically stimulated luminescence and cosmogenic-nuclide dating of fluvial terrace deposits in the Lee’s Ferry area (Arizona, United States) and determine ages back to ca. 130 ka. They then compile data across the Colorado Plateau from deposits ranging in age
