Magnetic Properties of Sediments in Cores BL96-1, -2, and -3 from Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho

By Joseph G. Rosenbaum

As part of an ongoing study to derive records of past environmental change from lake sediments in the western United States, a set of three cores was collected from Bear Lake, Utah, in 1996. The three cores, BL96-1, -2, and -3, form an east-west profile and are located in about 50, 40 , and 30 m of water, respectively. The cores range in length from 4 m to 5 m, but because sediments thin markedly to the west (Colman, 2005) the maximum age of sediments penetrated increases from east to west. Together the cores provide a record from the last glacial period through the Holocene. This report presents magnetic property data acquired from these cores.
