“…The trench is located ∼18 km downstream from the oldest alluvial fan's apex at the Mission Creek catchment on the Banning strand of SAF. The upstream catchment represents a classic range‐front semi‐arid nested alluvial fan setting (e.g., Bowman, 1978; Colombo, 2005), with at least four main sets of alluvial fans (Fosdick & Blisniuk, 2018; Kendrick et al., 2015; Matti & Cossette, 2007; Matti et al., 2015; Owen et al., 2014).…”

The geologic history of sediment flux and deposition is influenced by changes in external environmental factors such as climate and tectonics and intrinsic factors such as lithology and the sedimentary system's internal dynamics (Romans et al., 2016;Toby et al., 2019). Due to the complexity of these various factors, it is challenging to identify the first-order control, whether external (allogenic) or internal (autogenic), on sediment generation, transport, and downstream deposition (Armitage et al., 2011(Armitage et al., , 2013. In addition, how these signals are recorded in stratigraphic archives and geomorphic landforms over various geologic timescales is still poorly understood (Caracciolo et al., 2020;Gray et al., 2019). This is particularly challenging since the studies often rely on spatially and/or temporally incomplete stratigraphic sequences (Jerolmack & Paola, 2010;Miall, 2015) or suffer from poor chronological constraints (Owen et al., 2014 and references therein). For example, researchers still debate whether the significant alluvial fan depositions in the American Southwest took place during relatively dry periods, especially during glacial to interglacial transitions with reduced soil moisture and vegetation cover (e.g.
