This report presents data and describes the methodology for magnetic, geochemical,
and textural measurements of sediment and soil, as well as age determinations
of sites located in and around Canyonlands National Park, on the Colorado Plateau,
southeastern Utah. Many sites in and around Canyonlands National Park, Utah,
were selected to include different geomorphic settings that contain sand sheets/dunes,
playas, and fluvial/alluvial deposits. The data presented in this report are
results of ongoing studies of American drylands, where numerous sites have
been investigated to assess how climate change and land use affect the landscape,
largely through geomorphic processes.

Downloading Suggestion:
It is best to download a large PDF file to your hard drive rather than open it
inside your browser. (A standard click may automatically open the PDF file
inside the browser but doing so will result in a very slow load.) For guidance
on how to do this, go to [http://cpg.cr.usgs.gov/toolbox/download_advice.html]. Downloading the PDF file may take several moments but will be worth the wait.
Once it is downloaded, open the PDF from your hard drive using Adobe Acrobat—it will open in a fraction of the time it would take to open the PDF over the
Internet.
