Effect of Dam Emplacement and Water Level Changes on Sublacustrine Geomorphology and Recent Sedimentation in Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming, United States) by Michael M. McGlue, John R. Dilworth, Hillary L. Johnson, Samuel J. Whitehead, J. Ryan Thigpen, Kevin M. Yeager, Edward W. Woolery, Summer J. Brown, Sarah E. Johnson, Cooper S. Cearley, Gillian M. Clark, T. Spencer Dixon, Ryan C. Goldsby, Autumn L. Helfrich, Bailee N. Hodelka, Edward L. Lo, Leandro Domingos-Luz, Nicholas E. Powell, Giliane G. Rasbold, William R. Swanger

“…Because the Teton fault is a major seismic hazard, end-member characterization of turbidites is a critical first step for accurate discrimination of mass transport deposits controlled by earthquakes in more ancient Jackson Lake strata. Results from this study illustrate the influence of dam installation on sublacustrine geomorphology and sedimentation, which has implications for lake management and ecosystem services. …”
