Description This Harvard Dataverse dataset consists of four U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Seismotectonic Section internal reports for dams and related structures in the central Wasatch Mountains and adjacent western Uinta Basin, more complete relative-age soil profile data than presented in the reports (in tables in Excel format), data for dust traps in the same region that was not included in the reports, and the poster (pdf format) about these topics presented at a special session of the 2022 Geological Society of America annual meeting (Denver, 9-12 October ) to celebrate the career of Professor Peter W. Birkeland (Department of Geosciences, University of Colorado, Boulder).
