| Shrnutí: | This book explores the landscape evolution of the Paleo-Bell River, a vast ancient river system that once drained much of North America from the Cordilleran mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. The author, James W. Sears, delves into the geological and tectonic history of this river, its impact on the formation of the Grand Canyon, and its eventual destruction by tectonics and glaciation. The study utilizes detrital zircon geochronology and sedimentary analysis to reconstruct the river's history and its environmental significance. Intended for geologists and earth science researchers, the book offers insights into North America's paleo-geography and the processes shaping continental-scale river systems. |
