Description:
The stratigraphy associated with a highstand, wave-cut shoreline and with sites farther out into the lake plain constrain the Holocene lake-level history of Tulare Lake, California, USA as follows: Seven to eight major fluctuations in lake level occurred during the past 11,500yr. Lake level was generally higher during the early Holocene (prior to ~6000calyrBP) peaking in two highstands (65-70masl) at 9500-8000calyrBP and 6900-5800calyrBP. Thereafter, it fluctuated at lower amplitude until reaching a major highstand during the most recent millennium between ~750 and 150calyrBP. Two lake-level rises of lower amplitude were centered on 3300 and 1600calyrBP. At least three, probably brief, lowstands (
