Age Determination of the Remaining Peat in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, USA
Judith Z. Drexler, Christian S. de Fontaine, Donna L. Knifong
2007, Open-File Report 2007-1303
Introduction The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of California was once a 1,400 square kilometer (km2) tidal marsh, which contained a vast layer of peat ranging up to 15 meters (m) thick (Atwater and Belknap, 1980). Because of its favorable climate and highly fertile peat soils, the majority of the Delta was drained...
