High and dry: A ∼300-year record of hydrologic extremes from the French Broad River in the southeastern U.S.

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: French Broad River Basin, southeastern United States Study focus: We combined fluvial and dendro-based paleoflood hydrologic data with instrumented data to understand long-term changes in extreme flow events.

Land-use change as a major driver for mid-20th-century flood intensity reduction in the Southeastern US

Environmental Research Letters
Land-use changes affect hydrologic processes, but their impact on flooding remains obscure amid increasingly heavy precipitation. Instrumental records are short relative to land-use change history and inadequate for flood attribution studies.

FLOODPLAIN PLANNING BASED ON STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF TILPARA BARRAGE DISCHARGE: A CASE STUDY ON MAYURAKSHI RIVER BASIN

Caminhos de Geografia, 2012
Floods in the West Bengal are responsible for colossal loss of human life, crops, and property. In recent years, various measures of flood control and management have been adopted.

Late Holocene Paleoflood Hydrology of the Snake River in the Lower Hells Canyon, Idaho [PDF]

, 2020
The Snake River watershed spans a large geographic region from the Rocky Mountains to the inland Pacific Northwest, and a comprehensive paleoflood chronology on the mainstem of the river is key to identifying the frequency and magnitude of large ...

Paleoflood Hydrologic Research in the\nSouthwestern United States

Paleoflood hydrology is a cross-discipline between geomorphology\nand hydrology that uses geologic evidence to estimate\ndischarges for historic and (or) prehistoric floods. Analysis of\nfine-grained flood deposits has been used to estimate the magnitude\

Application of chemostratigraphy of slackwater deposits to enhance paleoflood reconstruction, Rio Salado, Antofagasta Region, Chile [PDF]

, 2016
This thesis reports a study of novel chemostratigraphic methods applied to flood deposit identification/correlation and subsequent paleoflood hydrology and flood frequency analysis in the Rio Salado, Chile. Flood deposit identification at 4 stratigraphic
