Core OL-92 from Owens Lake, southeast California
Acknowledgements
This drilling program was made possible by funding from the U.S.
Geological Survey's Global Change and Climate History Program, coordinated
by Richard Z. Poore and, for this project, Milan J. Pavich. Their support
in many forms made it possible for the results described herein to be
accomplished. David P. Adam and Michael E. Torresan provided much useful
advice during the planning and core-archiving stages. Special thanks go
to Mary L. McGann who effectively guided us while we organized the record-
keeping and core-handling operations, as well as in the field during our
initial days of drilling. J.P. Smoot and E.W. Hilldreth of the USGS
helped us interpret some of the sedimentary structures in the core. Mary
M. Donato cheerfully supplied editorial assistance and supervisory
approval for the entire collection of contributions to this report.
Rossana Torres was responsible for most of the final steps required to
assemble this report. The drilling crew was supervised by Arthur C. Clark
and composed of Todd. E. Hunter, Stephen J. Grant, Daniel J. Sweeney, and
John C. Palmer, all USGS employees; they were outstandingly competent and
we appreciated all their cooperative spirit.
Drilling on lands leased from the State of California by the Lake Minerals
Corp., a subsidiary of Cominco American, was assisted and expedited by
William C. McClung and Paul A. Lamos of Lake Minerals' Lone Pine office,
and James and Bruce Pischel at their Owens Lake facility; McClung
suggested the method by which core OL92-3 was recovered. Arthur F.
Nitsche, of the [California] State Lands Commision, Mineral Resources
Management Division, helped us to obtain the State's permission to drill
at this site.
To all of the above, thanks.
U.S. Department of Interior, U.S. Geological Survey
