Journal of Hydrology, 2020 Abstract Through a comprehensive paleoflood hydrological investigation we document natural evidence for at least 27 high-magnitude paleofloods at six sites on the Lower Green River, Utah. Hydraulic analysis, using the Sedimentation and River Hydraulic-2D model (SRH-2D), shows that the responsible peak paleoflood discharges ranged between 500 and 7500

A history of paleoflood hydrology in the United States, 1800”1970
Eos, 1986 The origins of paleoflood hydrology in the United States can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century, when windgaps and watergaps in the Applachians were believed to have been eroded by extraordinary floods as large lakes that were ponded behind the ridges rapidly drained.

Assessment of dam failure flood and a natural, high-magnitude flood in a hyperarid region using paleoflood hydrology, Nahal Ashalim catchment, Dead Sea, Israel [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2007 A dam failure flood in 1993 with a peak discharge of 600–700 m3 s−1 (volume of 0.5 × 106 m3) and a natural, rainfall‐runoff flood with a peak discharge of 420 m3s−1 (volume of >2.0 × 106 m3) in 2004 in the Nahal Ashalim catchment (75 km2) in the hyperarid Dead Sea region were comparatively analyzed. The two floods, which caused serious damage to the

Hydrological thresholds and basin control over paleoflood records in lakes [PDF]
Geology, 2015 The scarcity of long-term hydrological data is a barrier to reliably determining the likelihood of floods becoming more frequent and/or intense in a warmer world. Lake sediments preserve characteristic event layers, offering the potential to develop widely distributed and unique chronologies of historical floods.

Paleolakes, paleofloods, and depressions in Aurorae and Ophir Plana, Mars: Connectivity of surface and subsurface hydrological systems [PDF]
Icarus, 2009 The plains of Aurorae and Ophir in the equatorial region of Mars display extensive geomorphic evidence indicative of paleo-hydrological processes linking surface and subsurface. Elaver Vallis in Aurorae Planum south of Ganges Chasma is an outflow channel system >180 km long, and here inferred to have formed by cataclysmic spillover flooding from a ...

Flood Ring Evidence and its Application to Paleoflood Hydrology of the Red River and Assiniboine River in Manitoba* [PDF]
Géographie physique et Quaternaire, 2004 Although paleoflood records developed from tree rings are much shorter than those developed from geological evidence, their brevity is offset by their exceptional utility for dating floods to a specific year. Inundation at the beginning of the growing season disturbs cambial processes in riparian Quercus spp., causing unusual anatomical features to ...
