The Impact of Desert Training Center: A Historical and Geological Analysis

From 1942 to 1944, the Desert Training Center played a pivotal role in training over 1,000,000 men across 12 base camps. This analysis examines the geological features of the area, utilizing transect and soil pit samples from Iron Mountain to assess physical mixing validity. We explore sediment generation rates and their implications for piedmont formations, drawing connections to the larger pediment problem. Roger Hooke's work informs this investigation, contributing valuable insights into the area's geological history and ongoing research.
