Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract To aid California's water sector to better understand and manage future climate extremes, we present a method for creating a regionally consistent ensemble of plausible daily future climate and streamflow scenarios that represent natural climate variability captured in a network of tree‐ring chronologies, and then embed anthropogenic climate ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 6479-6498, October 2022., 2022 Charred jack pine snags provide unique paleoclimatic data in the Canadian boreal forest. Spring temperature reconstructions from these trees indicate cooler than average springs at the end of the Little Ice Age, with multi‐decadal cold and warm phases, before transitioning to warmer springs since approximately 1940.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Favorable topographic gradients and channel bed aggradation are often cited as primers for river channel avulsion. Sylhet Basin in Bangladesh subsides relatively rapidly and presents a topographically favorable channel course for the Brahmaputra River.

River connectivity and climate behind the long‐term evolution of tropical American floodplain lakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 19, Page 12970-12988, October 2021., 2021 We present a multi‐proxy approach on short sedimentary cores form two neotropical flood plain lakes associated with the Magdalena River, Colombia, to study temporal variation in diatoms, sediment geochemistry and climate. We proposed that lake hydrological connectivity to the Magdalena River is a main factor controlling lake long‐term responses to ...

Improvements to Flood Frequency Analysis on Alluvial Rivers Using Paleoflood Data
Water Resources Research, Volume 57, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Hydrologists and engineers routinely use flood frequency analyses to compute flood probabilities for mitigation, infrastructure planning, and emergency management. Conventional flood frequency analyses—in which annual discharge maxima from a stream gage are fit to a statistical probability distribution—often encounter large uncertainties when ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 41, Issue S1, Page E644-E655, January 2021., 2021 Time series of observed River Ammer flood years for the period 1926–1999 AD (blue bars) and years with a flood layer in Lake Ammer sediments (red bars) for the period 3550 BP to 1999 AD show pronounced interannual to millennial scale variations. Part of this variability is related to solar irradiance forcing on atmospheric blocking frequency over ...

A Holocene "frozen accident": sediments of extreme paleofloods and fires in the bedrock-confined upper Huis River, Western Cape, South Africa [PDF]
, 2018 Wildfires and flooding events are common and are forceful intrinsic controls over landscape evolution, biodiversity, and preserved sediment architecture in dryland environments.

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Climate conditions and instantaneous depositional events can influence the relative contribution of sediments from terrestrial and marine environments and ultimately the quantity and composition of carbon buried in the sediment record. Here, we analyze the elemental, isotopic, and organic geochemical composition of marine sediments to identify
