Assessing Pleistocene climate on the Southern High Plains through geochemical and physical characteristics of paleosols archived in the Blackwater Draw Formation
The Southern High Plains (SHP) is a large plateau, encompassing an area ~130,000 km2 from southeastern New Mexico to northern Texas. The SHP was largely a site of sediment aggradation since the Pecos River cut off the Rocky Mountain highlands to the west between 2 and 1.4 Ma, and forming the …

Probabilistic estimation and prediction of groundwater recharge in a semi-arid environment
… environments and demonstrates it for the Southern High Plains (SHP) in Texas. Diffuse recharge in semi-arid and arid regions is likely to be episodic, which could have important implications for groundwater. Our approach makes it possible to assess how episodic recharge can occur and to …
