Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 47, Issue 12, 28 June 2020., 2020 Abstract Floods and droughts in the Mississippi River basin are perennial hazards that cause severe economic disruption. Here we develop and analyze a new lipid biomarker record from Horseshoe Lake (Illinois, USA) to evaluate the climatic conditions associated with hydroclimatic extremes that occurred in this region over the last 1,800 years.

A 1300 year reconstruction of paleofloods using oxbow lake sediments in temperate southwestern Québec, Canada [PDF]
, 2016 The study of paleofloods provides important information on past flood frequency and intensity for regions where there is a paucity of records, it therefore extends our knowledge of flood occurrence beyond the historical record.

Fluvial geomorphology and paleofloods in arid central Australia
, 1998 This thesis examines the fluvial geomorphology of the Todd River(9,300 km2) in arid central Australia. It describes the morphology, motphostratigraphy, dimentary characteristics and chronology of the modern flood plain and paleoflood complexes, and ...

, 2022 Extreme floods are underrepresented in stream gauge records. Sedimentological evidence of past floods (paleofloods) yields longer records, allowing extreme floods to be examined over several Holocene climate periods.

Bayesian MCMC flood frequency analysis with reconstructed paleofloods
, 2018 PosterInternational audienceThe choice of an acceptable and cost-effective solution for the design of hydraulic structures depends upon the estimation of quantiles for different characteristics of floods, usually peak flows.

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Late Holocene palaeohydrological changes in the lower Narmada Basin, India, revealed using multiproxy analyses of the Orsang River terrace sediments. Distinct depositional phases corresponding to global climatic events were recorded. High‐magnitude floods in the Narmada River during the MWP, and within the tributary Orsang River during DACP and LIA ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Stalagmites provide an invaluable archive at high‐resolution for paleoclimate studies. However, it is challenging to extract independent hydroclimate signals from stalagmites due to the scarcity of reliable hydrological proxies. Although the magnetic parameters of stalagmites have shown great potential in recording regional hydrological ...

Causative classification of river flood events
WIREs Water, Volume 6, Issue 4, July/August 2019., 2019 Different perspectives and scales of existing causative classifications of river flood events. (Reprinted with permission from Bárdossy and Pegram (2011). Copyright 2011 Wiley and Nied et al. (2014). Copyright 2014 CC BY) Abstract A wide variety of processes controls the time of occurrence, duration, extent, and severity of river floods.
