changes and catastrophic hurricane landfalls along the Gulf Coast of the Florida Panhandle …

Paleoflood hydrology is the study of past or ancient flood events. The most accurate
technique involves the analysis of slackwater deposits and paleostage indicators (SWD …

Coastal lake sediments contain a stratigraphically and chronologically distinct record of
major hurricane strikes during late Holocene time. Frederic—a category 3 hurricane that …

The difficult task of estimating recurrence intervals for large floods has long plagued
hydrologists because statistical measures fail when return intervals of floods exceed the …

Channel boundary shear stress and stream power per unit boundary area are very useful
concepts in assessing the role of rare, great floods in producing major geomorphic …

From an origin in diverse studies of flood geomorphology and Quaternary geology,
paleoflood hydrology emerged as a geophysical and an applied hydrological science during …

Recent developments have greatly increased the likelihood that historical and paleoflood
investigations can provide useful hydrologic flood‐frequency information. Advances in the …

▪ Abstract Any understanding of contemporary biodiversity change in the Americas is likely to
be uninformative and misleading if it employs a prehistoric baseline imbued with pristine …

A regional synthesis of paleoflood chronologies on rivers in Arizona and southern Utah
reveals that the largest floods over the last 5000 years cluster into distinct time periods that …

The best-documented in situ Paleoindian sites of the Southern High Plains are found in the
three loci of late Quaternary deposition: draws, playas, and dunes (Chapter i). This chapter …
