Records of the frequency and magnitude of floods are needed on centennial or millennial
timescales to place increases in their occurrence and intensity into a longer-term context …

Annually laminated (varved) lake sediments with intercalated detrital layers resulting from
sedimentary input by runoff events are ideal archives to establish precisely dated records of …

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

For the purpose of detecting the effects of human activities on climate change, it is important
to document natural change in past climate. In this context, it has proved particularly difficult …

A sedimentological, geochemical and palynological study of the Taravilla Lake sequence
(Central Iberian Range, NE Spain) provides a detailed record of allochthonous terrigenous …

Seasonal sea-surface temperature variability for the Neoglacial (3300–2500BP) and Roman
Warm Period (RWP; 2500–1600BP), which correspond to the Bronze and Iron Ages …

Palaeoflood hydrology is an expanding field as the damage potential of flood and flood-
related processes are increasing with the population density and the value of the …

This book provides a synthesis of the past decade of research into global changes that
occurred in the earth system in the past. Focus is achieved by concentrating on those …

Lacustrine sediments are important archives for paleoclimate research, but there are evident
carbon reservoir effects. Radiocarbon (14C) ages of lake sediments must be corrected for …

Floods caused by ice‐jams on the Peace River are considered to be important for
maintaining hydro‐ecological conditions of perched basins in the Peace‐Athabasca Delta …
