Abstract

Abstract. Neogene deposits of the lower Colorado River valley, especially the Miocene(?) and early Pliocene Bouse Formation, have been the focus of intense debate regarding the early paleoenvironmental history of this important continental-scale river system in southwestern North America and its integration with the proto-Gulf of California. Fine-grained units within these Neogene deposits also hold a promising archive of Pliocene paleoclimate history for this part of the world. Because the depocenter deposits of the Bouse Formation and the deposits that overlie and underlie it are poorly exposed and highly weathered, the formation is ripe for study through collection of drill cores. A workshop was held 28 February–3 March 2019 in Parker, AZ, USA, to discuss how scientific drilling might be employed to help resolve the Bouse controversies and improve our understanding of paleoclimate history in the region.

The house Formation，一个有争议的科罗拉多河演变的Neogene档案:科学钻探研讨会报告(2019年2月28日至3月3日- BlueWater Resort & Casino, Parker, AZ, USA)

摘要科罗拉多河下游的新近纪沉积，特别是中新世和上新世早期的house组沉积，一直是关于北美西南部这一重要大陆尺度河流系统的早期古环境史及其与原始加利福尼亚湾的整合的激烈争论的焦点。这些新近纪沉积物中的细粒单元也为该地区上新世气候历史提供了一个有希望的档案。由于house组的矿床及其上、下的矿床暴露程度较差，风化程度高，因此通过采集岩心进行研究的条件已经成熟。2019年2月28日至3月3日，在美国亚利桑那州帕克举行了一场研讨会，讨论如何利用科学钻探来帮助解决众议院的争议，并提高我们对该地区古气候历史的理解。
