It flows about 90 miles through southern Nevada before making a U-turn west and north into Death Valley, California. This geological study was conducted “…as one element of a larger effort done in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project…to elucidate effects of regional late Cenozoic tectonic history on a potential radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain.” (From the Introduction).
