| Notes | This thesis examines marine terraces on the central Oregon Coast to see what they can tell us about uplift and deformation processes in the recent geologic past. “The primary purpose of this project is to study the characteristics, age, and distribution of uplifted marine terraces along 65 km of the central Oregon coast between Otter Rock and Searose beach. . . . Quaternary deformation of marine terraces is used to determine the rate and variability of uplift.” (p.1) Includes geologic maps. |
