Key mountain-building events, including the Nevadan, Sevier, and Laramide orogenies, shaped the region's complex geology.

It is unique in that it explicitly connects the dynamics of open coasts and tidal basins; not only is the interaction between open coasts and tidal basins of basic importance for the evolution of most coastal systems, but describing the similarities between their physical processes is highly instructive as well.
