Deserts 1

Synopsis: Although California’s Death Valley is not typical of the world’s great deserts, in this limited area it is possible to observe all the important desert processes and determine which are likely to be preserved in the geological record. Combining this information with that gathered from wind tunnel studies of aeolian bedforms, the programme visits Utah’s Zion National Park to see if it can be proved that these jurassic sandstones are the result of aeolian deposition in an ancient desert.
